Title: Going Camping
Type: Concentration Game
Target: Any vocab, or phonics
Materials: None
Procedure Tell the class you are going on a camping trip. If the students
want to join, they have to say “Hello My name is _____ and I’m bringing ____.”
But there is a secret and they have to figure it out. Give them a clue: My name is
Ms. Kasper and I’m bringing a Kite. The secret is that what you bring must
begin with the same sound/letter as your name. Write Kasper and Kite on the
board next to each other for a visual cue. Ask “Can you join me?” to the first
student. Keep going until one student gets it right, then write their name on the
board with yours for another clue. Now the people who know the secret should
ask the next person to join. “_____, Can you join us?” Students try to figure out
that the object and the name must begin with the first letter.
Comments: Can be made more difficult by only allowing students to choose
objects from a certain set of vocab, for example food or toys.
