Simple whack-a-mole game using the key weather expressions and a few other vocab words relating to weather clothing.

What a cute game!  Unfortunately, I think I am challenged.  Well, it's either me or the game!  After I click on the green check mark and it tells me I get 3 points, then what?  I cannot get back to the original golf course.  (A little Caddy Shack humor.)      

Kindly advise. 

Thank you!

Hey,

I couldn't get the mole game to bring me back to the numbers menu, even when I clicked above the hammer.  :(  Here's a weather ppt, it's just a review.  Then I played fruits basket with the kids, they love it!

Chairs are in a circle, the kids  are assigned a weather.  When they hear their weather, they get up and run around, and whoever is left standing has to say the vocabulary.

How to play the fruit basket game by Wolftashie.

You assign different groups of students different words (if you are doing fruit, then banana or apple).  You have chairs in a circle, one less than the number of students.  The odd one out has to say the word (BANANA!) and all the banana students have to stand up and run to a different seat.  The last one standing has to say a new word.  For weather, I used windy, snowy, cloudy, sunny, etc.  The kids love it, but you have to make sure they get up when they hear their word.

I play this song at the beginning of each of my classes

Re: above PPT

em.... lightning/thundery Is it thundery? I don't know but thundering, isn't that used for an insult as in: Your a thundering idiot.)

I'm just trying to help please don't misconstrue my reasons for posting.

I have included a vocabulary ppt (incl. spelling), which also has a mini game at the end. Hopefully you can use this for the 2012 school year.

Here is a very basic ppt introducing the 5 key weather phrases. Could look better but does the job for the beginning of the first lesson.

Here I have a pretty useful game tool I used to make this lessons game. I opened with a generic introduction ppt to teach the key language of weather and then used excel to generate a word sheet.

There is already one sheet generated with simple language I wrote in. All you need to do is print the correct sheet from the print menu. If however you'd like to add more words you can click sheet 2 or word bank and add as many as you want. I'd rather keep it few because I will be making my students say a sentence when they play a box on this sheet. Something along the lines of "It's ____ today."

Game Rules
Use this sheet to play O-mok. Students may already know what it is. They try to get 5 boxes in a row like the game connect 4. The only difference is that connect four forces you to start at the bottom and work up whereas O-mok allows you to place anywhere. Each box has a key word in it. To play that square students must say a dialogue. "It's sunny today." This is good for low level students because the language is simple but repetitive.

here is a video of it being played.
