GONNA BEAT YOU :)

   
       It's a different type of "rock,paper,scissors" game. Instead of using their hands, pupils are expected to use their whole body in this activity.

• The instructor should determine a body position for rock, paper and scissors shapes.
• The pupils are divided into groups of three.
• They are informed by the teacher about the positions.
• Each group stands in line and when the instructor gives the start, they shape their body as a rock, a paper or scissors.
• The rock beats scissors, the scissors beat paper and the paper beats rock.
• At each turn, the losers are eliminated one by one and the winner keeps until s/he loses.
• At the end, the group which has the most members wins the game.

       This could be a great energizing warm up idea. I hope you're gonna enjoy it, too.

       Take it easy. See you soon...  McD

COME TO MY VOICE MATE!!!

      Looking for multifunctionality? Here is the perfect fit ;) From team building or icebreaker to warm up, you can use this great activity for many purposes.

• Determine a specific lexical area to use as group names like colours, animals...etc.
• Give each student a group name in private, so noone will know the others' groups or group mates.
• Set up a safe environment. This is vitally important because all the pupils are going to do this activity with eyes closed. So, they have the possibility to harm themselves in an unsafe environment.
• Now, eyes get closed. With the instructor's countdown, they start shouting the group name they were given. The ones from the same group try to come together as soon as possible.

       I hope you like it. Have it your way :) Take it easy.
       See you soon...
