Again, it is not even an OK drawing
, I will have to ask my cousin to teach me some skills maybe this week ,but it is better for me have something to help me explain this game here.
Name:
Beat the winner (Quan2 da3 ying2 jia1)
Level: All levels
Aims: Oral English, Grammar consilidation on what Ss have just learned .
you can choose any grammar structure to practice by using this game especially
before the exam . Class Time: varies
preparation Time : 10 mins
Resources :lists of common modal verbs used in classroom or textbook SEFC(Senior English for China )Grade 1(B) Page 152--154 .
Procedure :1 write the above pics in the board ,if needed ,go over the modal verbs(I didnot do this coz my students have just learned this ),explain the rule of game to them
2 Rules : everyone in the same group are trying their best to beat the winners of other group ,
Take one student A1 for example ,he play the" Jiandao shitou bu" with any Ss from Group B , if anyone lose ,he or she has to make one sentence by using the modal verbs ,then the judge is to judge if the sentences are good or not ,if ok ,the second Ss from Group B will challenge teh same player from A untill he or she
BEAT THE WINNER !
The last one who sucessfully beat everyone in other group will be the Winner to help the whole group win ! and the first round of game finish ,if time permits ,the students can also play the same game again ,in order to ensure the fairness of this game ,the boy or gal who beat the whole team ,he or she will be able to have a short rest by being the JUDGE for next game ,the game will go on like this ......
Note: you can play China 's traditional Game called "
Jiandao shitou bu " or you can play "Gangzi(Stick ) gangzi(Stick) laohu(Tiger) or Ji(Chicken) or chong(Worm) " in that game Stick will beat the tiger ,tiger will eat the chicken ,Chicken will eat the worms ,but the worms will rot the Stick) (
老虎 杠子）almost everyone in China know how to play this game and it is so much fun to play this in English rather than in Chinese .
Caveats and Options (1) Break Ss in group of 5 ,7,9 the best number depends on the size of your class
(2) After I used this game in my class ,I realised that ,you Canot use this game if your class size are too big like over 70 Ss unless you have a very big classroom ,and a lot of space for Ss to move around .
(3)Ask the Ss to be creative ,don't make the same sentences ,you might do this to motivate Ss by telling them ,the correct sentence will worth 1 points ,but the imaginative ones will worth 2 Points ,but After I know about
DWS I have to reconsider this in my classes
(4)explain the rule in Chinese to save the time,although this is a English class ,but it is not suggested to explain this games' rule to your Ss in English coz it is too complicated and could make some confusions ,and will waste a lot of valuble time
(5)Some of Ss speak Chinese when they play this game ,but don't be too serious on this if they are using Modal verbs ,that is the points of this Game !
Have fun with this game in your class!
ps: I made this game , you are welcome to try this game in your classes for free ,and I would appreicate that if you tell me how it is going in your local classes by leaving a comments here .
however it is NOT ok to use this game in any commercial use

odcast has been the vast increase in usability of such technologyy and an equally impresive decrease in cost. The result being that ideas that were developed only for the most privileged parts of the developed world’s educational systems can be used in a much broader context as the cost and ease of access to these tools has changed.
