Activity

Under the Sea / Forest Creatures / Stuff on a Desk

A couple of posters with lots of things to practice 'how many do you see?'

Generally make groups and have the groups select their order.

I pick 12 questions before the activity and give those questions and the answer to the JTE.

There are a few fish/creatures / objects the students won't know. I either go over them in advance, not use those questions or introduce them as we play the game.

Give the first question to everyone. The first student brings the answer to a teacher and that teacher gives them the next question if they are correct. They return to their group, repeat the question and the next student will bring that answer.

Continue until a group finishes all 12 questions. They are the winner.

NOTE
The stuff on a desk poster has a powerpoint to help practice the vocabulary. It can be used for the 'eraser get' game. Click on a picture to show a star. That is the keyword. The students repeat saying the vocabulary after you but if you say the keyword they must grab their eraser instead. Can be done solo, in pairs or in groups.

This activity pairs well with 'Oh No, not 20' I'll include a link.

      The sea creatures poster is so cute and aesthetically pleasing!! Definitely really easily adjustable by naming colors too!
