A ppt I made to introduce and then review language, then to allow them some individual practice.Used in the first lesson so has a few slides on the intro and the game as well.
Simple Sleeping Elephants game. Teams of 4. (this works best but if you have to change it you can)Each person is numbered 1-4. Each group has one white board, one marker, one eraser. (or you can give each student one marker each and they each have to write their own word. However, we don't play that way. )Start with their heads down and eyes closed/hidden. Say #1 wake up. Number one looks at their word. Head back down.#2 wake up. Number two looks at their word. Head back down.ETC. After #4 say every/all elephants wake up. They then work together to figure out what the correct order is to make the correct sentence. I like to rotate writers as well so everyone can have a chance to write since we only use one marker per team. We also count punctuation and grammar and capitol letters, etc. So if they miss that no points. Any more questions just ask me. I have posted this game in other book threads and as always this is not my idea nor template.
