Help... I need a killer ASS game

Postby monkeydude on Fri Mar 13, 2009 9:31 am

Ok so its my last couple of days teaching Junior high school and I want to go out with a bang. Next week Im teaching 1 nensei and 2 nensei, and the JTE told me any game will do for me last class. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do for my last class. They are quite gengi but the game has to be simple and easy to understand.. The less preperation the better too... Lol I looked on the site but ive already done all the games in the review, such as jump through hoops and gun machine and home stay..
Please help me out I need ideas...

gun machine talk gets them really genki, yeah.
of all the last lessons i did, the best was Inaka Basketball. BizzQuiz (jeopardy style game) a close second.
they love basketball. downside is, you need a lot of questions. because it is very fast paced. i prepared 50questions and almost ran out.
...and u have to find a big ass garbage can PLUS u have to make a nice and big paper basketball.
put the 3 points line really far away. they always go for the 3 points and almost never hit. until one group figures that they can get more points with the easy 1 point shot. implement the "3 mistakes is 1 point"-rule, makes the game faster and more exciting since they are not so afraid to answer.

bizz quizz is less preparation, but u have to check all the questions and revise a couple, some of them are just false.

get the test question bank from the old forum http://englipedia.proboards105.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=educational&thread=718&page=1. (watch out some minor mistakes in there, too)
also, students especially love to look for pictures in the textbook, e.g., "I see a monkey wanking. What page?" and of(f) they go.
and what gets them to work their brains at least a little is the wordscramble. try to make up fake words (or real words) out of the letters, makes it harder, eg. LOVEUNTER for "volunteer" or CAFE for "face".

i guess, without any preparation u will never have an exciting game.

Killer game, eh? How about a time killer game?

All you need to do is prepare about six sentences...that's it!

You know the "Whisper Down The Alley" game, right? Other names for it is Chinese Whispers. Well, instead of having them whisper, have the last person from each row receive a sentence. Then, have them finger spell the sentence on the person's back in front of them until it reaches the front. The person in front writes the sentece.

To bring entertainment for yourself, tell them they have to concentrate because you're going to distract them...simple turn on your favorite album in class, sit back and do nothing.

Now, that's a killer game.

bum : No I dont have access to a projector, I asked one of the JTE and he said it would be difficult to get one for each class...

Otaku: I did that game already, but insted of sentences a did letters as a warm up game. It didnt go down very well, as the guys just kept tickling each other and went all gay!

But thanks guys for all the ideas! Got anymore???

I'm stumped...there's a ton of ideas on the site. So, if you can't find something that sparks an idea, you can always try the Sendai site. The link is in the LINKS area of the site.

You could do a modified version of the baseball game from the games. Just change some of the easier questions in there and you'll wind up having a lot of fun. Split the class in half and have at it.
