Classroom Games
If you go to the ICLC management system, click resources, select Games in the drop down list and click the search icon. Then some game, such as jerordy, who wants to be a million are, etc., are available to download. These will need to be changed to suit your class. Below are some simple classroom games which, mostly, only need board, chalk and maybe some flash cards.

Chinese whispers- 2 teams in a line (6-10 each), Give the student at the back of the class a piece of paper with a word or saying. Then the person at the front has to write the word on the board.

20 Questions- Show a student a photo of a person or object and the rest of the class must ask questions in which the student can only answer yes or no.

What am I ________?- Stick a flash card on one students back so they dont see it, the class then does actions and the student then has to guess what flash card is on their back.

Hangman- Think of a word and draw lines for each letters on the board. Ask the students to raise their hands and say a letter if the letter is in the word write the letter on the line which is the letter is on. If not write the letter on the board and draw a line, which will them form the picture on the Left.

Shark Attack- Basically Hangman but with a different picture (on the right). And the man moves down the steps. When the man is in the sea at the bottom the shark eats him and the class loses. You could use the students names, and even name the shark, if the man goes into the sea the student that is the shark goes and eats the student in the sea. You could have a boat for the students that have survived.

Face to Face- Two students stand at the front of the class with their backs to one another. The teacher gives them both a flash card. The students hold their flash card near to their stomachs, when the teacher says 3,2,1, go the students turn around and say the the flash card that the other student is holding is.

What and Where- Draw circles on the board with words written in them. When the teacher points to the circle the students say the word. Then the teacher rubs out a word and the students have to remember what that word was when the teacher points to it. Do this until there are no words left in the circles.

Slap the Board- Either stick flash cards or write some words on the board. Call up two students and when you say a word that is on the board they have to hit that word or flashcard with a hammer. You could also stick the flash cards around the room or say something that is on one of the students clothes, their bag or pencil case.

Category Split the class into 2 teams, and the board in half. Give the class a topic (School things, animals etc.); each team has 2 Minutes to write as many words as they can think of on the board from the given topic. Give them rules such as only one person is allowed at the board at any given time, students can only write one word and then another student must write a word.

Word Boxing- 2 students come to the front of the class and are given a topic (countries, capital cities, etc.) the first person has 10seconds to say a word from that topic, then the other students has 10 seconds to say a word from the given topic and so on until a student cant say a word (words cant be repeated). The loser then sits down and another student comes to the front to challenge the previous winner and the new comer gets to choose the topic.

Body Point- Draw a stick man on the board (like the picture). Teacher sticks one of their arms or legs out or nods their head and the students must say the word. Teacher can then put 2 or 3 arms or legs out. After the students start to lose interest have the students stand up and then the teacher says a word and all the students must so the action (stick arm, leg out or nod head). You can even get a student come to the front of class and say the word for the other students.

Actions- Have a student come to the front of class, and write down a word on a piece of paper, show the one student. Without talking the students must act out that word and the rest of the class guess, the student that guesses the correct answer is next up to the front. (You could use fun words such as a boy must act out girl, toilet, or crazy. But be very careful not to embarrass the students or make them upset.) Apple Pass- For this you need a ball and some music. Give the class a topic, sports, play some music and have the students pass a ball around the room. When the music stops the student with the ball must stand up and say a word from that topic, football, soccer, volleyball, etc.

Word Chain- Split the class into 2 teams and split the board down the middle, give them a topic and write a word at the top of each side of the board (Tiger, Cat). The students have 2 minutes to come to the board and write a new word starting with the last letter from the previous word. (TigeR RabbiT TurtlE Elephant..)

Bingo- Same as the bingo we know but instead of numbers you can use words from a topic. Either get students to draw 3by3 boxes in their books and write words from a topic in there, teacher shows pictures of the words and the students mark it off, once all are marked they shout bingo. Or teacher prepares picture bingo cards before and gives them to the students. The teacher then says the word and the students mark off the boxes.
