<\/a><\/p>\nSnakes & Ladders\u00a0<\/strong>is\u00a0my go to game for practicing reading, speaking, and listening skills with the students. You can even have it test writing skills if you leave fill in the blanks and tell sutdents to fill them in! You have to fill in the template with your lesson related content. No other prep is necessary. Students can use their own erases as board markers, and to move have the students do “rock paper scissors.” This determines the number of spaces students can move.<\/p>\n Skills: <\/strong>Listening, reading, speaking + writing (possible also)<\/p>\n Download Snakes & Ladders<\/a><\/p>\n Flick the Eraser\/Conquer the Land<\/strong>\u00a0is a good game for testing listening skills. Simply put a series of pictures on a page to test the vocabulary you want the students to learn, and print it out (1 page per 2 students). For this game, I printed out a sheet of different country flags. When you say the flag, the students take turns flicking their eraser. If it lands on the correct flag that was spoken, they “conquer the land” or the space. They can mark it as theirs with a pencil.<\/p>\n Skills: <\/strong>Listening<\/p>\n Flick the Eraser Instructions (PPT)<\/a><\/p>\n Download Flick the Eraser Board Template<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Slap Game<\/strong>\u00a0is also another basic game I play with my kids all the time. It tests their listening skills. You simply need to print out the vocab pictures and paste them on the board, or you can make individual printouts for students to play in partners. If you paste them on the board, you can choose students two at a time to come up and play. The teacher says the vocab words, and the student who “slaps” or grabs\/picks up the cards the fastest gets to hold onto it. The student with the most cards collected at the end wins.<\/p>\n Skills:<\/strong>\u00a0Listening<\/p>\n Slap Game Instructions (PPT)<\/a><\/p>\n Go Fish<\/strong>\u00a0is a classic American card game you can play with students to have them learn vocab words. The only thing is that the prep time takes quite a while for this game. You need to make and print and cut out enough decks of cards for each group of students (4-5 students per group). In the template there are 26 cards, so you need to print them 2 times to make a full deck (for a total of \u00a052 cards in a deck).<\/p>\n They also sell Go Fish cards on the internet though, so you could always buy them (even if they aren’t related to the current chapter you are teaching).<\/p>\n Skills:<\/strong>\u00a0Reading, listening, speaking<\/p>\n Go Fish Instructions (PPT)<\/a><\/p>\n Download Go Fish Cards Template<\/a><\/p>\n2.
