This is a great classroom activity that works particularly well with classes that are normally a little shy and reserved. Sometimes you need to get quiet students up and out of their desks to get them relaxed and feeling confident enough to use their English language skills.
The game goes like this: groups of students lining up in order, depending on the standard you choose, whether it’s their birthday, height or other things like that.
Begin by dividing your classroom into teams, if there are 40 students in your class then 4 teams of 10 should work well. Explain that they must line up in order using only English to communicate with each other, teams caught cheating will be taken away from that round.
When a team finishes, the person at the front of the line puts their hand up and you walk down the line checking that they are really in the correct order. You can choose for each team a leader who is responsible for organizing the team, making sure they don’t cheat and telling to you when they have finished.
Give one point to the first successful team and start the next round using different standard. Here’s some I use:
Height
Shoe size
Birthday
Time they woke up this morning
Time they went to bed last night
Number of brothers and sisters
Number of pets
Number of times out of the country
For fun you can try a round where they’re not allowed to communicate in words at all, limiting them to just hand movements and physical gestures. Add up the final points at the end of the game and see which team wins!
