Get Students to Participate in Class G * Level: ESL Middle School, ESL High School, ESL Adults, ESL Intermediate, ESL A Advanced * Time: 25 game questions for a 45 minute lesson. Welcome to an ESL lesson plan for a fun game that is similar to the TV game show Jeopardy. This complete ESL game lesson plan is a listening and speaking exercise. It will be easy for the teacher and fun for the students. This great ESL game does not require any special materials or handouts.\ (Yay! No copies!), and it can be played just as well in a large class or a small one. For a large class divide the students into teams, and let them choose their own English team names (students seem to really like this). For a small class students can play as individuals or in pairs. I play this game with my Gongju Boys Middle School and Tancheon Middle School ESL classes in South Korea. My class size is between 25-40 ESL students. Although here in this Associated Content article I provide a full lesson plan that includes a set of 25 questions for the students, I would also like to provide you with the complete directions so that you can re-create this ESL lesson plan yourself. You can tailor this game to target a review of whatever vocabulary you have been learning in your class. For example: in-at-on-inside-outside-next to-across from, occupations and shapes. It can be nouns, verbs, or adjectives. For more advanced students, require them to form the correct question as the answer, just like on the TV game show Jeopardy. * Preparation: Create a list of words: nouns, verbs, adjectives & 3 clues for each. Be sure to print it out J. The most difficult clue should be 1st. It's good to have varying degrees of difficulty for the answers so students are encouraged but don't get bored. * Directions: 1) Tell your ESL students they will be playing a game today. This gets them in a good mood and ready for some fun. 2) Divide your ESL students into teams of 1-6 students. Have the teams choose a team leader and a team name that's in English and write it on the board. If students are hemming and hawing over who the team leader should be, a quick round of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" usually does the trick. 3) Let your ESL students know that only the team leader is to speak the answer when its their turn or they will get a minus point. This keeps this game from getting out of control with noise. As well, if you are reviewing a specific topic or chapter, make sure your students understand that. For this purpose you will want to choose whether this game will be played with open or closed books. 4) Of course it's only fair to rotate which teams go first. Each team is allowed to guess once in each round of clues * The point system is: 5 points for guessing correctly in the 1st round, 4 points for guessing correctly in the 2nd round and 3 points for guessing correctly in the 3rd round. 5) Simply read the prepared clues aloud to the ESL class. You will need approximately 1 question for each 2 minutes of class time. Then call on team leaders to guess the answer and write the appropriate points on the board by the team name. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. It's up to

you if the class gets a reward or not. This lesson moves along pretty quickly and students like that. 6) * The key to this game is: Make sure you have enough questions. * CLUES & ANSWERS: 1) Tiger 1) It is an animal. 2) It has 5 letters. 3) It lives in India and Africa. 2) Dictionary 1) It's a 10 letter word that starts with "D". 2) It's a thick and heavy book. 3) You look in this book when you want to know the meaning of a word. 3) Car 1) You see it on the street everyday. 2) You ride in it. 3) It has 4 wheels. 4) Flower 1) It smells good. 2) Bees like it. 3) It's a plant. 5) Backpack 1) All students have this. 2) You carry it to school everyday. 3) You put your books, notebooks and pencil case inside it. 6) Clock 1) It is in the classroom. 2) It is round. 3) It has numbers on it. 7) Monkey 1) It is like a human. 2) It is a funny animal.
