Snakes and Ladders
Rules of the Game: Assemble the materials. See "Things You'll Need" for the materials.
Understand the goal of the game. The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach the end by moving
across the board from square 1 to square 100. You will travel the board from base to top, right, and then left
and so on.
Commence playing. The first player to roll 1 can enter the board (sometimes it is 6). Each subsequent player
must also throw a 1 or 6 to enter the board. The dice must be rolled again to show the number of squares that
the player entering the board may move initially. Place the marker on the appropriate square.
Continue playing. You each take a go. The person with the highest amount starts first. The person with the
second highest goes 2nd and so on. BUT DO NOT MOVE THE COUNTER.
Snake: if a player lands at the tip of the snake's head, his or her marker slides down to the square at the
snake's tail.
Ladder: if a player lands on a square that is at the base of a ladder, his or her marker moves to the square at
the top of the ladder and continues from there.
Students answer questions, fulfill task written on board game, examples tongue twisters, react and act, do
pushups and pumping and so on.
Complete the game. The first player to square 100 is the winner but you must have the correct number on the
dice to land on the 100 mark.

Article Jeopardy/ Double Jeopardy
Topic: Parts of Speech
Game Instruction: Divide the class into 3-4 teams (best for small classes,
but can be played with larger ones. Choose a team to start. The team can
select a question (any question); the more difficult the question, the more
points they get. After a question is presented, first team to raise hand,
slap desk, etc. gets to answer, BUT: after volunteering, they must answer
quickly (start talking within 2-3 sec) or they will LOSE that number of
points. (This deters premature hand-raising to "pre-empt" other teams.)
Also, if the answer is wrong, they LOSE that number of points. If they
answer correctly, the team can pick the next question. But remember,
ANY TEAM CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTION.

Question Game
Topic: Questions
Game Instruction: The Teacher chooses a card and reads it aloud
(this is the "answer"). The students must then ask questions that
would elicit such an answer. (For example, if the card says, "Yes, I
can." then the students should ask a question such as, "Can you
speak English?") You can play this game "game-show style,"
having the kids say "Ding!" if they think they can say the correct
"question. The teacher rings the bell once if the question is
incorrect and rings the bell twice if the question is correct.

Telephone Game
Book: Focus on Pronunciation
Rules of the Game: With the telephone game, the teacher takes advantage of
students’ cell phones to execute the game. Write down numbers from 0 to 9. Write
words with confusing sounds alongside each number as shown. With these words
and numbers on the board, the game can begin. One student tells the class his/her
number by saying the words that correspond to the numbers on the board. For
example if I am the student and my number is 254338, I will say the following
words: that, sink, they, say, say, thank. The other students have to punch in
the number on their phone as the student says the words that match the numbers.
Later, they will say the phone number that number to see if they heard it right. If
they got it right they get a point.

Running Dictation
Book: Dictation
Game Instruction: Divide the group into two teams and have them stand
in single file lines. Whisper a somewhat complex sentence (according to
their level) into the ear of the first person in each line. Make sure no one
else hears. Give the same sentence to each line. Then each person must
whisper it into the ear of the next person until the end of the line. The last
person must either say the sentence or write it on a whiteboard. The
team whose final sentence most resembles the original one wins. In case
of a tie, the fastest team wins. (Try giving an easy sentence to start with
to build confidence before moving onto a difficult one. If the game is too
hard in the first round, learners will decide it's no fun).
