Tic Tac Toe or Noughts and Crosses

Level: Any Level

This is a good game for a revision or for a reader's discussion. Divide the class into two groups. Draw a grid of nine squares on the board and write a number on each square (from 1 to 9). Prepare nine questions and set one question for each number. The groups call out the numbers and if they answer the question correctly, they get the point. The goal of the game is to make a line (either horizontal, vertical or diagonal).

You can make any level of questions, depending on the group you are working on.

Sentence Race

Level: Any Level

A good game for large classes and for reviewing vocabulary lessons.

Prepare a list of review vocabulary words.

Write each word on two small pieces of paper. That means writing the word twice, once on each paper.

Organize the pieces like bundles, 2 bundles, 2 sets of identical words.

Divide the class into 2 teams. Get them to make creative team names.

Distribute each list of words to both teams. Every student on each team should have a paper.  Both teams have the same words.

When you call a word, 2 students should stand up, one from each team. The students must then run to the blackboard and race to write a sentence using their word.

The winner is the one with a correct and clearly written sentence.

This is always a hit with kids. For more advanced students, use tougher words.

I have tested it and it is great fun!! Enjoy the activity. (Márcia Garcia)
