Draw 2 cliffs, and a river with two crocodiles. Name the crocodiles after the teachers. Draw Team A on one cliff and Team B on the other. They want to cross the river. It s too far to jump (show unlucky athlete falling to his doom). Draw a bridge and demonstrate that it s shaky. Get the JTE to be A and you are B. Pretend to be crossing the bridge and meet in the middle. Get ready to FIGHT IT OUT (the kids crease up laughing when they realize it s only janken). The loser of the fight has to return, while the winner can continue along the bridge. Set up the classroom. Two middle rows of desks are needed. Get the students to push them together to make two bridges. Six desks and chairs squashed together make bridge. Use 2 bridges, one for each crocodile/teacher. Divide the class into 4 teams: A, B, C, D (two teams for each bridge). Prepare about 20 questions on slips of paper. (e.g. First year: Are you a banana?, Second year: past tense practice). Put about 4 questions face down on each bridge. To cross the bridge, team members have to read the question out loud and answer correctly. Mistakes (e.g. Yes, I m not or No, I do are penalized by one point (crocodiles keep a look out!). Eventually, team members will meet on the bridge and janken. The winner continues, the loser returns to the back of his/her team. There are always 2 students trying to cross the bridge. Students who make it across get 5 points, and they can keep score. Keep changing the slips of paper so the students can t just memorize the questions. Remember, one teacher per bridge. You can try having team tournaments. This game works well to get the students familiar with responding great pattern practice. One good point is that the students seem to help each other, giving hints for reading and answering questions. Very exciting if you have the energy.
