Time Hunters

Students travel around game board collecting times on their cards for various daily routine verbs.

Originally submitted by Jory Boling on Nov 25, 2014.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

  • TimeHunters -attachment (Includes a game board and cards)
  • Dice
  • Game piece (eraser)

DETAILED EXPLANATION:

  • Students each take a card and place their game piece / erasers on any green START square.
  • Roll the dice.
  • If they land on a red STOP square, lose a turn.
  • If they land on a DICE square, they can roll again.
  • If they land on a FERRIS WHEEL, do nothing (no schedule).
  • Win by collecting all the times for the verbs and writing them on your card.

VARIATIONS:

  • If it takes too long, allow students to travel back and forth, not just in a straight line.

TEACHING SUGGESTIONS:

  • Drill the target language enough times so they are confident enough to say it in their groups.

TIPS/CAUTIONS:

  • Some students have a tendency to just roll the dice and write down times. It helps if they are "gently" reminded to actually say the target language. Some groups can be told to police themselves.

    Thanks for this! I edited this and used the pictures from Let's try 2 textbook to accommodate students who can't read and relay on memorizing.

    This is a great game, thanks for sharing this. Teaching time can be tough. This is a really fun way to review and practice.
