Lessons & Classroom Games for Teachers

ESL GAME: Spiders and Candy
By:Sabia

Place all of the flashcards face up in the middle of the group.

Have the Students turn around and cover their eyes.

The Teacher places one marker under each card (either a piece of candy or a spider. You can do it in a ratio of about 2:1 candy and spiders. You might want to have more candy for younger Students).

Students turn around and one by one call out a vocabulary word.

The Teacher lifts the card to reveal what’s underneath.

If it is a candy card the student takes the card and keeps it as one point.

If it is a spider, leave it on the top of the card and proceed to the next player.

You can turn over cards after they have been opened. That tells the Students not to guess these cards again.

The person with the most candy wins.

Note: If your kids are young don’t choose the winner.
