Title: Balloon Game
Type: Active game
Target: Any vocabulary
Materials: Balloon
Procedure: Practice vocabulary words. The students then stand in a circle and a
balloon is hit into the air. The object of the game is to not let the balloon hit the
ground. But when someone touches the balloon, they must say a vocabulary
word. If the balloon touches the ground, or someone hits the balloon without
saying a word the round is over. Count how many touches you can get to and try
to beat your own record.
Comments: This could be altered to practice a sentence form instead of
vocabulary by having the students hit the balloon and say one word from the
sentence at a time in order instead of random vocabulary words.
