ESL GAME: Rescuers
By:Sabia

Give out animal flashcards (3 per each student).

Put a paper crocodile in front of each flashcard.

Tell them that they are rescuers and they can save their animals from the crocodiles by answering your questions.

Put a paper river behind the crocodiles.

If the student answers your question, move a crocodile towards the river.

If s/he fails, move the crocodile towards the animal flashcard.

When a crocodile is too close to the river, say: “Go home Mr. crocodile! Jump into the river!”

The ‘saved’ animal says “thank you very much!” to its rescuer.

You then put it on a jungle picture or on a picture of a farm “Go home Mr. Antelope/Mr. Horse”.

If your kids are young let them help each other.

DON’T let the evil crocodiles eat Mr. Antelope! It can make the young kids upset.
