Anyone know any games to play with 1 student?
I just can't imagine any because I tend to think of games as competition on versus. I could always come up with worksheets and crosswords but that's a huge cop out. |

Don't you like winning games beat the you know what out of that kid or play hide n seek, be sure to let him hide first.
Just kidding. Get some flash cards with various animals and people. Dive the cards between you and him or her and play the card game battle. Most creative answer wins. If you have a lot of time you can make some cards yourself and create new creatures. |

| Invent an imaginary student that you can both speak to a play with. |

| Board games. I've always wanted to try "Guess Who?" The one where you have to guess the people. Maybe kids' scrabble. |

Roleplaying games with a pencil, dice and paper.
Let the child create a character.
Explain that the game is like a computer game: the character will do things in an imaginary world. The teacher is the game master, in charge of the world and its creatures. The character explores the world. The teacher presents different situations and encounters to interest and challenge the player.
At the end of each session of the on-going game, the child writes a diary as homework about the adventure.
I did this for a group of five boys once: they loved it. Then an older boy and a girl joined the class and that was the end of that. |

Oh that's a great idea, Dungeons and Dragons type thing. There are a lot of creative possibilities I can use. Adjectives for character creation, nouns for navigating rooms and areas, and verbs for skills and attacking. Thanks Cheers mate! Great idea |

I've done the D&D approach and it works quite well. D&D is a bit complex for younger students so you might want to try Dungeon Squad or Microlite20. Both have all the elements of traditional RPG but are super simple (and free to download).
You also might want to check out Cheapassgames. They have super creative games that are very inexpensive. They also offer lots of free games on their website. My kids love "Spree" which is a great game for numbers. |
