anyone have any favourites? And yes Ive tried hitting the search function but for some reason or other it comes up blank. Anyone have any good links to some websites. Have tried checking the cookbook as well and yes there are some good ideas in there.

I'm sure hangman would work. It works best if you tell them it's a word from such-and-such book so that they're furiously searching through their books trying to find it.

Whatever game you pick, try giving out candies to the winners. I'd be curious to know how, if at all, their reaction differs from elementary schoolers.

The game Scruples.

I brought it over from home but you could make your own version.

Ethical questions about what one would do in a given scenario. ("Your best friend's daughter tells you she is pregnant only after you swear you wouldn't tell her father. Do you?")
Then have pieces of paper or index cards to look like 'yes', 'no' and 'depends'. Then the person who answers tells the truth or lies. The others in the class get to ask him/her why answered yes/no or depends to that question, then everyone votes to see if s/he is telling the truth or lying by simultaneously lifting a halo or pitchfork card. Then the answerer shows the card under the book which reveals he was.... lying~! Everyone who said s/he was lying gets a point.

Next question, new answerer.

Great game with adults, sometimes goes fast, sometimes slow and about a particular scenario. Facilitates MANY side discussions. I've gone several classes in a row with it and some students want to continue even when I decide it's time to move on.

not so sure if the soju in the classroom is appropriate though.

If you can find it, Word Up is great for all levels.

I've had success with it from all levels from 5th-6th grade students to adults.

Nude twister is good for beginning learners. It drills colors, a couple body parts (hand and foot), directions (left and right) and social skills ("excuse me...")

My personal favourite is Alibi.

Good for revision of Past continuous.

Choose a famous Korean person and tell the class that person was murdered at (choose a local nightclub or location) and that two students are the suspects. (You may need to pre-teach the word Alibi and suspects).

The two students leave the room and construct an alibi for what they were doing between the hours of 7pm and 10pm. Give them guidance for example: what were you wearing, where did you go, how did you get there, who paid. They need to make it as tight as they can. Give them about five minutes to make a plan.

The rest of the students are the police and also need to jot down some notes about the alibi's. Give the police prompts about the questions they could ask.

Now bring one of the suspects in and interview him/her.

When the questioning is finished bring the other suspect in. The first suspect is not allowed to speak or use body language. (it is better if they leave the room)

At the end they police must decide if they are guilty or innocent based on their notes.

Good luck, they love it. Choose strong students as the suspects.
