game: snake game

aim: vocab drilling
things you need: vocab cards
age: any
level: low
game outline:
*lay the vocab cards face up in a snake pattern on the floor.
*divide kids into two teams and have them start at opposite sides of the snake.
*when teacher says go, students must stand next to the vocabulary card and say the word. then they move to the next one.
*when the meet in the middle, they play "rock, paper, scissors". the winner can keep going forward. the loser must go back and the next member in the team starts from the beginning.
*the winner is the team that gets to the end of the snake.
this game is good because a student who is not so good at vocabulary can still go far if they are a good "rock, paper, scissors" player.
