Title: Last Man Standing
Type: Game
Target: Any conversation
Materials: None
Procedure: Ask one row of students to stand up. The others remain seated. Ask
“What do you want to do?” to all standing students and they should raise their
hand to answer. Choose the first student to raise their hand to give an answer. If
they are correct they can sit down. Keep going (asking students the question and
calling on the first to raise their hand) until there is only one student left
standing up. Now the column that the standing kid belongs to stands up. Repeat
by alternating between rows of kids (sideways) and columns (back to front).
Comments: This is a good game. Don't explain all the rules at the beginning,
just play it at the kids will get it as you go along. It is a real incentive to answer
questions and not sit silently doing nothing!!
