Recommendation Game

Criss cross with a twist

This game is the love child of criss-cross by EasyESLGames and UonumaRobert's POINT GET GAMEs. It was made for New Crown (2021) 3 page 17.

In this game, there are three rounds(they can be played all in one class or spread out). Each round has a question...
1. What singer do you recommend?
2. What movie do you recommend?
3. What food do you recommend?

How to play:
At the start, everyone stands up!
Ask the students “What do you recommend?”
Pick a student and they answer “I recommend (Horizontal), because (Vertical)!”
Then click on the answer square which will show a direction(or everyone stands up) students in that direction then sit(if standing) or stand up(if sitting).
Repeat.

Sometimes at the end, I play a "punishment" game where the students still standing have to do something silly with me, such as sing head shoulders knees and toes or say the alphabet out loud. This motivates the students to not be part of the last ones standing.

      Thanks so much! Usually have a hard time motivating my third-year students to play games, but they absolutely loved this game.
