Title: Clap-clap
Type: Active game
Target: Any conversation pattern
Materials: None
Procedure: Make up actions for the answers to the question. For example, to
practice “What’s the weather like?” “It’s cloudy/rainy/sunny/windy, etc” make
up actions for each answer such as “It’s cloudy”=cover your eyes, “It’s rainy”=
fingers wave in the rain motion, “It’s windy”=sway side to side, etc. Then
students stand in line all facing the teacher. Everyone says the question together
in unison “What’s the weather like?” and then clap 2 times together.
Immediately after the second clap, each student answers and does the action to
go along with the answer. The teacher also answers and does an action. Any
student that does the same action and answer as the teacher is out. The last
student standing is the winner
Comments: Could be used to practice only vocabulary words and instead of
saying a question just say the theme of the words. For example “Animals,
animals, clap-clap” then everyone does the action and says an animal
vocabulary word.
