hello everyone welcome back repetition

we teachers know how important

repetition is in a class and how

difficult it is to work with it in a

meaningful way having our students

experiment and actually use the

linguistic items we want them to work

with so in that sense games are an

awesome choice

there are countless different games you

can use in a classroom to turn that

boring and meaningless repetition into

something that really engages the

students we can use stinky car to became

us dominoes we can use memory games so

today we are going to show you how to

use hope emoji do you know how to play

it so in order to play hope amanti you

must first decide what kind of language

you want your students to work with or

if you prefer you want them to be beat

it has to be interesting it can be

anything from lexical items like

nationalities professions or grammar

points like simple present simple paths

going to you decide once you have

decided what kind of linguistic item you

want your students to work with mine's

the number of students involved because

to play this game you need students to

have in their hands from 10 to 15 cards

plus another four cards that are going

to be used on the table we are going to

explain that later it is also important

to remember that each in with the item

that you chose must appear a minimum of

four times during the game meaning four

of the same cards in the stats are going

to be there so let's say for example

that we are going to practice simple

present so in our deck the action

play soccer or watch TV must appear a

numeral four times whether you choose to

have pictures and pictures or pictures

and definitions the word in the picture

it's up to you now for the real game for

a quick match I'm going to join Martha

let's go this game may be used with just

two players or a group of people today

we are going to play as three players so

each of us is going to have ten cards

and then we also need four cards to be

placed on the table face up for a total

of 34 cards

remember this is the minimal amount of

cards suggested to play with three

players we decided to work with eight

different actions simple presence in

frequency adverbs the objective of the

game is to have the largest number of

cars to inspire decide whether to work

with with a big group or with small

groups but remember the idea is to have

from 3 to 7 players maximum let's see

how it works

create your deck of cards taking into

consideration the number of students

you'll have in class and the number of

items you would like to work with but

remember you need to have a minimum of 4

cards for each language item game then

have your students shuffle the cards and

then choose 4 different cards it may be

the word or it may be the feature it's

up to you so you're going to choose 4

different cards and place them on the

table and the center of the circle

players you have faced up

then disrepute the other cards the rest

of the cards among students evenly think

of a way of doing so without wasting too

much time bear in mind that an image is

worth a thousand words that is showing

and experimenting with the students it's

always better than just explaining so

instead of stating the rules of the game

for the students try playing with them

one or two runs so that the students get

the rules and understand the game and

the gist of it and be sure to make clear

for them what kind of language they need

to use during the game once the cards

have been handed out among players give

them some time to arrange and organize

their cards in their hands grouping the

same cards they have I also remember

they have to keep their hands to

themselves

x-play time to start off we want our

players to use repeat I the frequency

effort and then the action for example I

always go to the beach let's start

playing all the cards that have been

distributed among the players and there

are four different cards at the center

of the group so the players have

arranged their hands and now I'm gonna

be the first player to play so I'm gonna

check my cards and take a look and check

if I have a pair a card that is similar

to the one that is at the center so in

fact I do have here the I play soccer so

I'm gonna get my card and I'm gonna

place it at the top of the cards that

has played soccer and which is at the

center and I'm gonna say

my sentence using the frequency adverbs

I never play soccer when I do that I'm

gonna snatch this file and put this file

now in front of me because now this is

my pile and now it's the next player Jim

turn to play there okay so let's see

here we have go shopping travel reads

and then play soccer so I have four

possibilities to try to snatch one of

these actions using our target language

so I'm going to check my hand to see if

I have anything that matches always

having mind that if the objective is to

have the highest or the largest number

of cards if we have the play soccer

which is my pile it would be better for

him to snatch my pile and use the play

soccer but I don't know what it's got

okay okay so I seldom travel so this is

no mind

no it's me not the sternum hi I'm Hinata

I'm gonna get this one I never play

soccer now it's my turn and I can say

that I usually travel and then I'm gonna

snatch gmos pile and now it's mine

Oh Jo okay so it's my turn again and

[Music]

travel go shopping and read play soccer

there yeah but it was you're on fire so

I have another one here travel so I

seldom travel so the pile is mine again

hey hey I sometimes travel now I'm going

to snap Diego's file and I'm going to

put it on the top of my pile and now all

this is mine my turn well I do not have

travel which is another spiral Jay will

have no pie oh and there are two spots

here one with go shopping read I don't

have either of them so I'm gonna use an

order card another action verb and place

it on one of the blank spots that we

have at the table I seldom swim

so now we have go shopping right a bike

swim watch TV read and swim again so I

don't have any of these cars so this is

another situation

so all the four spots here are taken so

what I can do is I can get one of my

cards here and then I can place it on

top of one of these four spots so I

choose any of them and then I sometimes

play soccer I don't have any car to

snatch other people's files but I have a

card from my own pile and I'm going to

place it on my own pile I seldom swim if

you want you can change a little bit

instead of demanding from students that

they use the full sentence saying the

frequency that they do something you can

ask them to use questions so for example

another how often do you swim and now

this pile is mine how often those swim

another

I never swim okay

go table your time okay all right so how

often do you write a by Martha I never

ride a bike no they're not that I never

ride a bike because I can't ride a bike

so I'm going to snatch Diego's pile and

now that it's mine Jay how often do you

ride a bike I sometimes write a bike

game over

jiggle has one pair not ahead

two pairs and aha the largest amount of

cards I want the game important thing to

remember set up time otherwise the game

can go for too long okay well that's it
