Sleeping Elephants Game Template
« on: July 15, 2013, 02:54:52 PM »
Nought fancy -  a template for Sleeping Elephants that I done gone made.  It's a pretty popular game from what I can tell, but I wanted to spice up the game PPT before using it myself. Here's the end result.

Instructions on how to play and an example round are included in the PPT.
Copy & Paste the game slides to add more content.

Instructions for those who've never played before:

Split Ss into teams of 4. If the number of students isn't divisible by 4, then either assign a S multiple 'elephants' ( e.g. 1 student = elephant 1 & 2, for a particular team) or let Ss share being an elephant (e.g. 2 students = elephant 4, for a particular team).

Students then take turns to read word(s) on the board and then work together to form a complete phrase/sentence/expression.

I usually explain the following scoring system:

0 pts - incorrect word order, or words missing.
1 pts - spelling errors.
2 pts - punctuation errors.
3 pts - perfect.

An example round is included in the PPT to help explain the idea to the Ss. Any questions then feel free to ask!

Thanks for this. I used this yesterday for a summer camp class of only 4 girls. They didn't all know each other, and this game really helped to break the ice, while they really worked together. Then they were talkative and active for the rest of the day  ;D
