5. ‘Counting to 10’
The objective of the game is to make the whole group count to ten. Sound easy, right? You can start by saying ‘one’ then another student says ‘two’, and another says ‘three’, and so on. But here’s the catch: if two people say a number at the same time, we have to start counting again. Alternatively, you can say a word and students spell it, using the same instructions. It’s quite challenging, I must say, but it helps the little ones to understand the concept of taking turns to speak.
6. What’s this in English?
Ask your students to get an object which they think the remaining students will not know its name in English. They show the object to the camera and others try to guess its name. It’s a great warmer activity and it is AMAZING to see how much your students know already. Variation: if none of the students knows the name of the object, they can use a search engine and name the object.
7. Online Scavenger hunt
Another energising game, for when your students need a break. You give students an object to find (e.g. a clean sock) and whoever shows it on camera first gets a point. To make it less competitive, you can allow a minute, for example, for all the students to find this object.
Thanks a lot. Really fun activities.
