***to make the tickle monster cards***
i'm not a very good artist and you can design your "tickle monster" in any way you want. my tickle monster is a daisy with a smiley face in the circle part. then it has a stick figure body. you want to cut up about 20 cards all the same size. draw the tickle monster on some of them. blank cards are "safe". i find that the kids really like getting the tickle monster, so it's best to make several tickle monster cards and only a few safe cards. then put all of the cards into the bag.

game outline:
*designate an area of the classroom to be "safe". this can be a wall, or a table, or whatever you want.
*student does the english that you want them to do. for example, maybe you show them a "food" flashcard and they have to say whether they like that particular food or not.
*student then gets to pick a card out of the bag. if they pick a tickle monster card, then you try to tickle them. they all try to run to safe without being tickled.
*return to your lesson area and let the next student have a go.
