[This is another activity that is NOT my own
creation. But since I’ve found it useful
in my classes, I’m going to post it on this blog as part of my continuing
effort to keep track of and index all the TESOL activities I’ve found useful
over the years.
At my school, the last day of class,
after the tests have all been completed and the student results have all been
calculated, is traditionally supposed to be a day of fun and games. Someone at
my school created this set of cards years ago, and it has since become a
classic “last-day-of-class-game” at my school.
It’s basically exactly the same as
the classic board game Scrabble, only instead of being played on a board, all
the letters are printed out in large size on half sheets of paper, and the game
is played on the classroom floor. All
the desks and chairs will obviously have to be moved to the side of the room to
get a clear playing place in the middle of the classroom. The game works particularly well at my school
because we have a tiled floor roughly the same size as the letter cards, so we
just use the tile pattern as the board.
But I think it can work on a non-tiled floor as well.
The letters are meant to be printed
out on half sheets of paper. (Standard
A-4 sized paper sheets are cut in half, and the half sheets are fed into the
printer). The letters are all copied and
pasted below, but it’s probably best to use the Google drive version (drive, docs, pub) to get the alignment right for the printer.]
