someone has crossed out all the colors on his or her card.
Encourage the student who finishes first to say Bingo!

to the two students and have them act it out. The first team to
call out the word their partner is acting out gets a point.

6. Color Game
Place pieces of origami paper (or colored paper) of different
colors in a circle. Play some music and have students walk
around the circle. Stop the music and have all the students
sit down next to a color. Pick a color and ask Who is beside

up. Encourage the student next to the color to stand up.
Continue until all students have participated.

themselves in the correct sequence as fast as they can.

of a giraffe. Say Look, this is a giraffe. Ask a student if he

Start drawing a picture of an object, person or animal on the
board slowly. Encourage individual students to guess what it is.

Write numbers on the board (for example, 1 to 10). Pair up
students and give each student an eraser. Have both of them go
to the board. Then, say Erase number (two, five, etc.). Encourage

Games

11. Family Members


Have students come to the front. Assign each student the
role of a family member. Then, name a family member and
have the corresponding students step forward.

12. I Spy
Place some real objects or pictures on the floor. These
should be big and small objects in colors students are
familiar with. Say I spy with my little eye (point to your eye)
something big. Students guess what object you are talking

name it. You can also play this game using the posters.

each student a card with a number written on it. Review the
numbers as a class. Next, say the numbers at random and have
the student holding the corresponding number step forward.

14. Pass the Secret


Have students sit in a circle. Show them that they have to
whisper to the person next to them. Start the secret by
whispering it to the student next to you. Say, for example, It’s
cold. Have the students pass the secret around the circle. The
last student says the secret aloud. Compare how close it is to
the original secret.
Games

15. Shapes
Get a beanbag and make big paper shapes of colored paper
(blue, yellow and red). Place the paper shapes on the floor.
Have students sit around the shapes. Point to each one,
and have them identify each shape and its color. Then have
students take turns tossing the beanbag onto one of the
shapes. Have students describe the shapes. Ask, for example,
What shape is it? Is it a triangle? Is it a square? What color is
it? Elicit answers from students.

16. Simon Says


Play Simon Says as a review. For example, say Simon says
touch your face. Encourage students to touch their faces. Say
Touch your eyes. Make sure students do not move, because
the sentence does not start with Simon says. When a student
makes a mistake, he or she must wait until the next round.

Get pictures of up to six animals students are familiar with
and a big die. Display the pictures on the board and write a
