1. Around the world (环游世界) by Lu Li This is my students’ favorite game to play. Everyone gets a chance to play in the game. It integrates learning with fun and competition. The game can be used for a variety of purposes. The example I am giving here is for reviewing characters. Procedure: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1. S1 leaves his seat and stands besides S2. T shows the 1st character, whoever gets it right moves to standing besides S3. 2. It continues in this way until somebody goes back to his own seat, meaning that he has gone “around the world”！ 2. Who has ? by Lynn Lin ( Lycée Fran?ais de New York ) Game Ideas This is an interactive game for practicing vocabulary and listening. It’s fun, fast and very effective in a medium 10-25 size group. Good for all age groups. Materials: participants Flashcards with pictures or characters or pinyin Someone calling out the items Procedures: The main idea of this game is to help students practice and expand their vocabulary level in a fun and engaging way. For example, when I teach food, fruits, etc; I have a bunch of plastic fruits. Students have already learned the names of these fruits and should be able to say them without long hesitation. However, this game helps students be faster at identifying these items in Chinese. I give each student a food or fruit item (they love being able to hold something, even if it’s not real). I will proceed by calling out the name by saying “shei2 you3…” Who has… and I teach the students to say “wo3 you3…” I have… as they say this, they’re required to hold the fruit HIGH in the air. Modifications: Especially with food items, you can also throw in color. Maybe have 3 students with 3 apples of different colors and say “who has the green apple?” “Who has the red apple” etc. Don’t limit your colors to “natural/normal” colors, this game can also be silly and imaginative. You can also modify this
