ESL Game - Frozen Tag
By:kr
Title: Frozen Tag
Type: Active Game
Target: Any vocabulary or conversation
Materials: None
Procedure: One student is IT. IT tries to tag all of the other students. When the
other students are tagged they become frozen. They are frozen until they say a
vocabulary word or the target conversation to the teacher after which they are
free again.
Comments: I usually play walking tag or slow motion tag, especially inside as
it results in less confusion and injuries! Slow motion tag is especially fun
because everyone has to move and talk in slow motion which can be very
funny! You can also play so that one set of vocabulary is the ‘immunity’ which
means that if they say a word from this set of vocab, they can crouch on the
ground while IT is trying to tag them and they are immune to being frozen.
