Child's Play

Practical ways of using games and play to enhance learning.

The following are explanations of some of the games and play techniques from the presentation.

· Flash cards

-there are numerous ways of using flashcards to drill and practice new vocabulary - you can slowly reveal the picture

-use a piece of card with a hole cut out and move it around the flashcard so only parts of the picture are visible

· "Simon says"

- the children stand

- explain that you are going to give an instruction. If it begins with "Simon says" they must do it. If it doesn't,
they wait for the next instruction

- give an instruction relevant to what they're learninge.g. "Simon says touch your nose.... brush your

hair. eat a banana"

-intermittently give an instruction without Simon says, if a child does the instruction, they are out. Continue until you have a winner or a group of winners

· "Keep the balloon in the air"

-each child is given a balloon

- you explain that it can't touch the floor. It must always be kept in the air
-they must use the body part you call out to keep the balloon in the air

-whichever part they are using, they must say the name of it every time they touch the balloon

· "What's missing?"

- display a few flash cards on the board, or the floor. Point to each one and elicit the word Give the children time to look at them

- ask the children to close their eyes and remove a card

- when they open their eye, ask "what's missing"

- they have to say which one is missing

"Teacher can't remember"

- use to review vocab. Use a lexical set from last lesson

-as you display the cards, pretend can't remember what the pictures are. The children have

to name the card

-You can also get them wrong to make them laugh (You can act as much or as little as you

want!)

"Run to the....... /touch the........ "

- display the flashcards around the room
-childrenstand in the middle of the room

- call out a word and the children run and touch that flashcard

• "Using instructions as play"

-make every classroom instruction more of a game

-instead of asking the children to stand up, or get their books, give instructions like "get your book if you're wearing blue", "stand up and leave if you have 1 brother"

• "Change places"

-students sit on chairs in a circle

- say "Change places if you "

(It can be used in many different tenses. "If you're wearing blue, if you've ever been on a plane, if you have any brothers.")

-the children must stand up and find another seat

-once they are used to the game, take one chair away and ask a child to stand in the
middle and give the instruction. The aim is that as the other children change places, they
sit in one of the empty chairs *. ,

• "Shark attack" variation of hangman

- chose a character that the children will know

- cut it out and mount on card

- draw a flight of stairs with sharks at the bottom and a reward at the top

- move the character up a step if they get a letter correct, down if incorrect. When the
character gets to the top, they get a "reward"

• "Back to the board"

-one child sits on a chair with their back to the board

-write a word you want to review on the board

-the children must describe the word to that child

-they shout it out and you move onto the next one

(you can do this in teams, so one member of each team sits with their back to the board. It's much louder this

way, as they are all shouting over each other)

• "True and false" with flashcards

- give true and false an action, ie, true they clap, false they bang the table

-show flash cards and make statements about them that the children have to answer true or false

• "Mingle and match"

- use flash cards and words, or letters and pictures or pictures that can make a pair.
Students mingle and try and find their "partner" flashcard.

• "Pick a pair"

-use flashcards and words or lexical sets where there is an obvious pair

- put the cards face down.

-each child turns over 2 cards and names them, -if they are the same, they keep that pair.
