Listening Games
« on: December 12, 2013, 03:40:09 PM »
I've been finding that with all units there is something of a dearth of listening games. Most of the textbook threads skip right past the first lesson in terms of any sort of listening game ideas. Lately I've been just been cycling through: bingo, snatch game and broken telephone and even though all three work well I'm worried about overusing them. I have been able to find ways of just drilling vocab for the lower levels (stuff like Simon Says is great) but even 4th graders need a little more substance that what can be easily put into Simon Says.

Does anyone have any listening game ideas they'd like to share? I'll try and turn this topic into a repository for listening games I come across in the future so people don't have similar difficulties to mine.

Make some disappearing dialogs, do some chinese whispers, find some paragraphs you can read out and find some key words in the paragraph - have the students pick a word and they must stand or sit when they hear the word from what you are reading.
"It's better to have tried and failed, than never to have tried at all!"
Teach this to your students... they'll thank you for it later!
