Simple Game Templates/Ideas
« on: August 24, 2017, 12:51:32 PM »
This is really just a space for me to put my game templates down. They are really minimalistic and you can do whatever you want with them.

Lately, I've been toying with this idea that maybe less is more. i.e. less prep work will give the students a better learning. For all my templates I use Microsoft Publisher. I know many teachers don't have access to this program so I'll upload the pdf version as well.

I'm not sure who to credit for some of the ideas, (I research a lot of games and look at different ones then adjust them) but everything I upload I made myself.

Thanks to everyone on waygook who helped inspire me.  ;D

Let me know if you have any ideas you want me to put into creation.

Ground Conquer Game
Player(s): 2-4
Skills: Speaking (Can be adapted for reading/writing)

Materials: Boardgame, markers(something you can flick) (Optional): white board markers, tape, clear sleeves (Korean teachers call them L-files?)

Setup: I like to put the board games into plastic sleeves and stick it down onto the table so the students can't move the board. I also give them white board markers so that the board games are reusable between classes.

Instructions:
[Version 1] Take turns to flick the marker from the start line (any direction). Say the key expression the marker lands on to conquer the land (Cross the spot). If you miss you miss your turn. The person with the most land wins.
[Version 2 (longer)] Student predicts which spot they want to land on by saying the key expression, for example: Let's play soccer/ Do you like apples?/My favorite season is spring. The other student can then respond to the question/statement based on if the marker lands.
[Version 3 Writing] Instead of putting pictures, get the students to write down their own key expressions from a list.
[Version 4 Reading] Instead of pictures, fill in the spaces with key expressions.

See attachments for template and example.

Snakes and Ladders Board Game
 Original Idea Credit: Tobz

Player(s): 2-4
Skills: Speaking (Adaptable): Reading/Writing.

Materials: Board game, place marker (token or eraser), die

Setup: I like to print two back to back, depending on the key expression, so when students finish one side they can play the other side.

Instructions:
[Version 1] Take turns to roll the die. This is the number of steps you move. Make sure you follow the numbers (go from left right then right left). Say the key expression that you land on. If you land on a ladder move up, if you land on a snake move down. First person to finish wins. [Note: This worked well with my grade 4s and 5s. I haven't tried it on other grades yet.]

[Version 2 Writing] In pairs, have each student fill in either a top or a bottom of the game board. Students can then mix and match game boards. [Note: I haven't tried this out in class yet.]

See attachments for templates and example.

Alternatives to Traditional Bingo
Listening Exercise: Put pictures and say the key expression.
Writing Exercise: Leave it blank(s) or put writing lines. Scaffold by giving a word bank.
Speaking Exercise: Pick students randomly and they can say whichever word/phrase they want. (I have a cup on my table with popsicles that have student numbers on them.)

Line Bingo
Instructions: Each student gets a horizontal strip of paper. Students can only cross off or tear the paper at the ends. For example let's say the strip of paper has the words:
 [hat][book][cap][cup][pencil]
If the word called is pencil they can cross the word off like so:
 [hat][book][cap][cup][pencil]
If the next word called is cap, they can't touch the word because it's not at an end yet.
If the next word is hat, they can cross it off like so:
[hat][book][cap][cup][pencil]

Survey Name Bingo
Setup: I get students to fill in a survey with their response first and I put their responses into a bag. This is how I draw the names randomly.
Instructions: Walk around the class and ask students the question(s). Write down the student's name/response. Give the students a time limit or a minimum number of students they need to ask.
When students are done, pick out names from the bag. You can also use this as a final review. For example they go around asking "What is your favorite sport?" and now you can ask the class "What is Minji's favorite sport?"
Bingo with X number of names, or teams can get points based on correct answers.

Giant Writing Bingo
Just like normal bingo except they have to fill in all the boxes themselves. Great for higher levels and when you are revising a lot of vocabulary. i.e. for camp or for when they have vocab tests.

Let me know if you have any other ideas!  ;D

See attachments below. Note: Line bingo has 6 games per sheet and I used it for grade 3.

HEX
Player(s): 2
Skills: Speaking

Materials: Board game, pencils or (Optional): White board markers and plastic sleeves.

Setup: Add pictures and key expressions to game board.

Instructions:
Similar to 'Ground Conquer" except you win when you can connect one side to another like a bridge (rather than collecting the most land). Say the key expression to color in a hexagon. Win by creating a 'bridge' from one side to another. This is adapted from the real HEX game so you can look up the rules online if you are unsure.

See attachments below for templates and an example. I made a One Piece version for fun.
