They have to say their word one at a time as you point. Each time you reach the end go back to the beginning and speed up, then point randomly to them. If you have willing students, invite a student to become the teacher, pointing to each one to say their word. ]]> 2017-11-06 10:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/203807004 Sticky Ball penny_licker https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/203808034 You can buy these from the orange fronted stationers 'HP Book' on To Hieu Street. The kids love them as an alternative to 'slap the board'.]]> 2017-11-06 10:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/203808034 Spanglish https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/204209489 Great warmer!
Line up a group of 10 students in the front, each student to say a number (alternating between English and Vietnamese). Example: S1- one, S2- Ha, S3- three, S4-bon etc). WARNING!!- Sharpen up on your Vietnamese counting vocab, atleast from 1-10. Students that repeat two consecutive words in English/Vietnamese are out, or if they take too long to figure it out. Eliminate until one winner!!!!

Now we just need to find or make some oversized dice.]]> 2018-01-01 12:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/218243798 Slap the Board Alternatives penny_licker https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/218243837 Who has alternative variations of slap the board? Any fresh takes on this common game? Please share with us! ]]> 2018-01-01 12:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/218243837 Bird Mating Dance Game https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/221945865 One student from each team gets a flash card. Neither know what's on the flash cards. The first one to shout their opponents word correctly is the winner. So funny to watch. Works well with grade 4.]]> 2018-01-17 04:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/221945865 ESL Cafe Website penny_licker https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/222070276 http://www.eslcafe.com/

A player from each team comes to the front with their backs to the board. You write an English sentence on the board like 'The purple cat likes to go shopping with the green lion.' Their team members must speak to the players in Vietnamese and the players must translate the sentence back into English. When they can repeat the whole sentence without any eliciting from their team members, the player raise their hands and tell me the English sentence. Super fun. ]]> 2018-08-26 03:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/penny_licker/r0j0otncjqw2/wish/275348702
