在我们的英语课堂教学中，您一定经历过下面的这种状况吧？教师热血澎湃地讲解，学生却报以满脸的茫然和目光的呆滞；或者当您提出一个问题之后，换来的却是死一般的沉寂。面对这样的情形，您会怎样处理呢？
本文分享6个课堂游戏给你，顺便提升一下自身的英语水平哦~
一
This game involves the teacher calling out a colour and a body part. Students must find an object in the room that is that colour and then touch the selected body part to that object. For example, if the teacher calls out pink thumb, then students need to find an object that is pink and touch it with their thumb. The teacher continues calling colours and body parts.
To make this into a game students that are too slow in completing the instruction can be asked to sit down. The last student remaining is the winner.
二
Copy me
This is simply a game of copycat. The teacher uses a combination of clapping and sounds to make a pattern. Students need to copy what the teacher says/does. This can start with a simple pattern of only 2-3 and can extend to add more. To make it even more challenging complete the pattern quicker and see how many students are able to keep up and remember all the parts. An example pattern could be: clap, slap, snap, click and yell.
三
This game is an extension of the one above. This time students need to keep their eyes closed and use their ears to listen to the pattern and then copy.
四
This is probably my favourite game to play in the classroom. Essentially it is the class against the teacher.
The students must copy four beat patterns that the teacher claps, except for one. The teacher claps the forbidden pattern to the students at the start so they know which one not to copy. For instance, the pattern not to copy is: ta, ta, ti-ti, ta. The teacher then claps various four beat patterns that students must copy. At a random time the teacher claps the forbidden pattern. If even one student copies this, then the teacher wins 1 point. If no students copy, then the class scores 1 point. The first to 5 is the winner.
This is another game that I have done with every class….and I think I’ve only ever been beaten a couple of times.
五
Chopsticks
For this game your students will need access to chopsticks. This can be completed in a couple of ways. Firstly the teacher can say different patterns, and then the students copy by using the chopsticks. For instance, the teacher may say ti-ti, ti-ti, ta, ta, then the students would clap this out with the chopsticks.
Alternatively, the teacher can clap out a pattern on the chopsticks and the students copy. The teacher can make the patterns progressively harder, faster and longer until the students find it too difficult to keep up and follow the pattern correctly.
六
This is a race between 2 students. The teacher claps out a rhythm using some common patterns, such as ti-ti, ti-ti, ti-ti, ta. Students run to the board and then write the rhythm clapped by the teacher. The first student to write the correct pattern is the winner. The winner can stay in and a new challenger is selected.
I hope these six classroom games have given you some new ideas for how you can energize your class when you get those blank looks.
