What do you plan on doing after they get all the blue and red cards?
What are these cards made of? Plastic? Paper? Hard stock paper? (I am curious)
Ideas for games depend on the age level and their proficiency. I have some scattered on two wiki sites: http://englishlessons.wikispaces.com and http://eslhighschool.wikispaces.com
There are 2 general ones I use. The younger ones are dealt picture or word cards. They can simply use "Do you have a/an/some ____?"
Also, you can adapt these to specific lessons, like a sickness/illness. One person is doctor, the other is a patient. The doctor asks, "Do you have a headached?", Go Fish style. If the patient has it, then the doctor would say, "You need ___." For example, "Do you have a cut?"/"You need a bandaid." Change this for whatever area you are teaching.
I also have a vocabulary file I set up mostly for 1st through 6th grade. I work with high school students now, so I am doing different things like word maps.
Another one students like is a "Price is Right" game. You can do a money lesson first or summarize currency values you want to use in class. Then, they choose things they want for their birthday. Have them pick expensive things like computers and cars. Anything is ok. I do role-plays for the cheaper stuff (like delivering pizza or Chinese food).
Then, get pictures of about 10 of the items they mentioned, go to Amazon or anywhere online that would show the price. Download the photos and record the prices. Divide them into teams (5 or 6 works nice) or if it is a small class they can do it individually.
The routine I do for scoring is the closest team to the actual price gets a point. They get to choose the next item and the second closest guesses first. Then the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th.
Sometimes they prefer to pass, so I allow them 1 pass. After that, they have to guess. |
