Games Played in 2 Teams

Charades/Miming: Split the class into 2 teams. One group of students mime the action and the other group guesses the action (brushing your teeth, driving a car, etc.)

Dialogue/Balloon Pop: This may involve some preparation. Have the students split up into a few teams. The teacher cuts up the dialogue or whatever paragraph of words and puts it into a blown up balloon. The students race to pop the balloon and put the dialogue together. Variation: Fragmented Sentences: Cut up some sentences and spread them around the room. Shout out a sentence and one S from each team races around the room slapping the words in order to make out the sentences. Make it all smaller and students can use chopsticks to place the words out in order instead.

Yes/No Chairs: Set 2 chairs at opposite ends of the classroom, divide the class into 2 teams. Designate one chair as 'yes' and the other as 'no', or whatever the desired construction. Ask one member from each team a question. The first student to run to the correct chair scores a point for their team.

Basketball: Ss take a shot at the trashcan/box. First ask a question to S1 and if they answer it correctly they can have a shot at the basket. First team to 11 points wins.

Typhoon: Draw a grid on the whiteboard (4x4) Number the grid 1-16. On a separate piece of paper, mark it with symbols (Star = 25 points, Moon = 50 points, Sun = 100 points, Typhoon = Erase Points, ↔= switch points) Each symbol is matched with a number. This is a good game for review questions. In two teams, the teacher takes turn asking a member from each team a review question. The student picks a number from a box that has the pre-determined score (symbol) by the teacher. (Behind number 2 is a Star, so therefore the student wins 25 points for his team. Whichever numbers have the symbol of a typhoon they lose all of their teams points.)

Connect 4: The teacher draws a large grid onto the whiteboard that is similar to that of Typhoon. One team throws a sticky ball and has to make the target language from whichever the ball lands on. This box now belongs to that team. The object of the game is to get four boxes in a row, either horizontally, diagnonally or vertically. Teams take turns throwing the ball.

Bowling: You will need toy bowling pins for this game. To make things a little more interesting for the students, don't give them a ball to bowl with. Instead place random items in a line 1-6 (snake, banana, a paperclip, or any random funny items you have in the room) The students roll the dice and have to bowl with whatever object is next to that number. I say if they bowl a 7, they can throw the teacher. Most don't understand that there is no #7 on the dice.. hah.
