Here's a game I made for Listen & Speak 1I edited the "pass the bomb" template to create a reading game:Pass a ball around the classroom, and have two students at a time make the dialogue that is on the screen, then they pass the ball to the next two people, going in some sort of zigzag line around your classroom (this works best with an odd number of students so they don't end up paired with the same person every time the ball makes it all the way around the room). Click on the "next" button on the powerpoint slide to bring up the dialogue for the next pair of students. When the bomb goes off, the two students that were doing that dialogue are eliminated! and play continues without them.Unfortunately, this thing was kind of a pain to create and edit, so it fails as a potential template. But I hope my hard work is helpful for someone else who is teaching this unit, at least!edit: wow my students went crazy for this game! I've never seen them so excited to read English before lol. I highly recommend this one!

I highly recommend this one!I played this with my students but in groups. Half the group was "A" and the other half "B". It worked so well I added extra slides. I also created a pre exam review. I've never seen any kids so excited about reading. Instead of having students be "out" when the bomb landed on them, I gave that team "minus 10" points. It got particularly exciting when the bomb went off between groups finishing and me clicking. In those cases, I gave myself the "minus 10" points.
