This looks like so much fun. How and when did you ask the students to demonstrate that the facts were true??

Difficult word game

This is a great lesson. It really tests the kids pronounciation. I am the judge. They have to listen carefully and then repeat. Just try it. It really is great fun.

Re: Mafia game for intermediate level and up!

I'm excited for the powerpoint explanation! I never actually played Mafia before I came to Korea. I learned here but am not familiar enough with it to explain it through a language barrier. This will really help. It'll be great for the summer camp I want to run. But I think I'm looking forward to playing it in my teacher's class more! Thanks a million.

Thanks for the PPT.

When trying to think of an activity for my after school class to do (in the last minute) I remembered how
much I used to love playing Mafia.  When setting up for it, I was surprised to hear that the students
had played it before and loved to play.

So needless to say it was a smashing hit!  That was last week....the addition of your PPT will work
wonders!

I like the idea that their sentence structure could/will improve with the use of this game.

Great lesson for a smaller class size. I made everyone attempt to answer the first question and who ever got it right continued to the next question. By the 4th question there was only one student left. Students who watched really got into the game because they were cheering on thier classmate!

Whales is not part of the UK either. Wales, however, is. Whales are a group of advanced marine mammals.

Sounds like a great idea for camp.  In fact I think I might now run with a detective theme for camp and incorporate this.

Wipe-OUT! [Game]
« Reply #88 on: April 25, 2011, 09:21:57 pm »
My students enjoyed this lesson so I figure I'd upload it here.

The game is like "Typhoon" I think. I never actually looked up how Typhoon is played, but a friend gave me a quick description so I made this game based on what he said + some other things I felt like adding.

You can use this gameboard as a template for other games (like how people often use Jeopardy templates etc). The questions in the Powerpoint are very specific to the lessons I taught in class, so your students probably won't know what anagrams, onomatopoeia, etc are. Change the questions !

I've attached a half-assed file [[[Wipe-OUT Questions (Sample Questions).docx]]] which has some sample questions you might want to consider when you change the questions. According to my co-teacher, these are grammar points that students learned in Middle School.

Changes are open to suggestions. Let me know how I can improve this :)

Goodluck!

+ Gotta give credit to my friend, Court, for the name of this game.

High School Level Typhoon/Dice Game
« Reply #90 on: April 29, 2011, 08:51:43 am »
You will need 6 die and 26 pieces of coloured paper. On one side of the coloured paper print one letter of the alphabet per pice, A-Z. On the opposite side, randomly, print the numbers 1-5 and a few "typhoon" images. Here's how I had them divided up:

1 x 3
2 x 4
3 x 6
4 x 4
5 x 3
Typhoon x 6

I would suggest laminating these papers so you can always reuse them without any damage. Then if you can get some, use magnetic tape for sticking the cards onto your blackboard.

Before class begins, put all the cards onto the board and write out a scoreboard (6 teams) and the die instructions:
1 - miss a turn and change direction
2 - answer a question (this is review type stuff from what you have been studying; have students take turns to answer these questions, so each one gets a chance to speak)
3 - answer a question (same as above, prepare a lot of questions in advance; they must answer in a full sentence)
4 - 10 words (give them a topic, such as colours/something to drink, etc, and they have to tell you 10 vocab words that fit)
5 - make a sentence (you give them one word, from a lesson or randomly, and they must make a sentence with at least 7 words)
6 - Rock Scissors Paper (the team must choose another team to play against; the winner keeps the higher amount of points/the two teams change points)

After the team has successfully answered 2, 3, 4 or 5, they can choose a letter of the alphabet which will be their points or a typhoon card. A typhoon card reduces their points to zero!

***You can rearrange the activities by die number but I found that some thngs would come up too often if I changed it too much, such as miss a turn, which doesn't come up too much on a one.

***It's really important to prepare a bunch of questions/words/categories before you play the game because it is difficult to think of things on the spot during the game.

I would give them a set amount of time to answer, like one minute and start a countdown if they are taking too long. I'm pretty picky with the words/sentences that they come up with. Ex if the 10 words topic is zoo animals, I won't accept pig or horse, since they are farm animals... On number 2 and 3, it doesn't matter how long the sentence is, only number 5 has a minimum number of words for an answer, but you can set your own rules for those activities anyway. For number 6, rsp, I will not accept it when the students say the Korean words, it must be "rock, scissors, paper", in English to count.

All Girls' High School Random Games
« Reply #91 on: May 09, 2011, 10:17:41 am »
At the start of last year, my co teacher asked me to put together a power-point depicting some of the games that I had used in class. This is by no means complete, but it gives you an idea of how some games can be brought into the classroom. My kids especially liked the Snakes and Ladders board game that I made. I have also made a Monopoly board game and a Ludo board game and they go over soooooo well with the kids. Hope this helps!

I played this last week with an elementary after school class.
I split the kids into teams of 4 or 5 and gave each team a white board, marker and eraser.
Once they saw the options I gave them around 30 seconds to chose an answer and then the teams had to hold up their white boards for me to see.

Hope this helps.

Slide 3: Me and my friends played soccer is not correct...it should be My friends and I played soccer.

Sorry I wouldn't normally call it out, but I am not able to edit it on the power point and re-post it.  :)

Great activity though! If anybody can re-post it with the correction, I'd love to use it...or maybe my ppt at home will let me edit it.

Re: Warm-up Game::: Hot Seat feat. Lil Kim (Jong Il)
« Reply #97 on: May 25, 2011, 03:37:08 pm »
Thought this was an awesome game, and the kids loved it, until my VP walked past and now I have to submit ALL my materials for moderating, as "this is a very sensitive issue and simply isn't appropriate for the classroom"   :'(

PS - none of my 7 co-teachers thought it wasn't appropriate...

We all know this website. Using it as a lesson topic specific to South Korean classrooms? Naive and most definitely corrosive. What kind out outcome did you expect - a standing applause? This PPT is reckless in all its glory - use it if you are a culturally insensitive fool who wishes to perpetuate negative stereotypes.
