I found the ppt on this site, just changed the music to something I would want to listen to^^

Here is a 20 second/jeopardy style game for past tense vacation sentences.

It's pretty simple, the categories are verbs: go/play/watch/ride/eat and the kids will have to make a sentence with the verb in the past tense such as "On my vacation, I went to Canada." They can get 10 bonus points for answering "how was it?"


enjoy

Here's a little intro I used, and then I did the ppt game that was posted.

There were a few mistakes on the ppt, so I edited and will re-post it.

Thanks for fixing my read -> ride. I forgot about that, I fixed it on my classroom computer but not on this one, ooops.

Glad you enjoyed the game though :)

Looks great. I couldnt work the audio, but I editedit to make it past tense, and re-posted.

 ;) This Powerpoint helps students review location words and activities that they may have done over the summer break. The lesson assumes they already know how to form simple past tense verbs like "swam."

I couldn't seem to get the "pass the paper" PPT to open. Is anyone else having the same trouble?

This is in response to annekat's slides.  I modified it, making only minor changes, to reflect Chuseok.  I'm hoping to have students play it after the break.  Thanks Annekat for the slides and inspiration, they are awesome.  It's attached should anyone be interested.

My ppt is kinda awful so I'm not gonna put it up, but this game has been a lot of fun so I thought I'd share it.
If you've ever heard of fruitbasket upset, it's the same game, but applied to the lessons here.

Everyone sits in a circle with their chairs except 1 person has no chair and stands in the middle. The person in the middle chooses someone at random and asks them a question. For example: Lesson 1.6 Did you have a nice vacation?
The person in the middle asks "did you have a nice vacation" and the person they asked says "Yes it was...." or "no it was....." and answers with a set choice of adjectives. Each kid is assigned to one of the adjectives. I use Wonderful, OK, Boring, Awful. So if the person answers, "No. It was awful" then everyone assigned to the word "awful" stands up and has to switch chairs and the person in the middle tries to sit down. There is always someone left in the middle so then that person goes and asks someone else. And so on and so on. I also add in a phrase that means that everyone has to get up and move, like, "No. I didn't go anywhere." If they say that then everyone gets up and frantically tries to find a seat.

 It's quite amusing to watch and I feel like everyone ends up getting a chance to use the key expression. I play for like 20-30 minutes. It's best with a big classroom and class size. Have fun!

Desk warming for a while, thank you for the game and interesting topics... I will work on my ppt and see what i can think of 

My school wants me to focus on the speaking part. This is the lesson that I made and a bomb game to go with it
