Grammar Charades Game (4 or more people)

1. Grammar Charades is where one person tries to get their partner to say a complete sentence using correct grammar by acting out the sentence, without speaking. 

Game Preparation:

1. On three small pieces of paper write "I am".
2. On three small pieces of paper write "You are".
3. Write out the rest of the conjugations on small pieces of paper, tree times each.  (When you are finished, you will have 21 small pieces of paper.)  
4. Fold each paper in half, so you can't see the writing.  Put the folded pieces of paper in a bowl.
5. Get 3 small pieces of paper and write "positive" and "negative" on another 3.  Put those in a second bowl.
6. Get 21 small pieces of paper and write a noun (such as a girl, a tree, a mat) or adjective (such as happy, tired, hungry) on each.  Put those in a third bowl. Click here for a list of common adjectives if you need some ideas.

Playing the game (4 or more people):

1. One person from the first team, the actor, stands in front of the others and chooses one piece of paper from each of the three bowls. Get the partner to correctly say the sentence they just created with the three pieces of paper without speaking.  
2. The team has 45 seconds to correctly say the sentence.  The second team keeps track of time.
3. If the first team correctly says the sentence, they earn one point.  If they do not say the sentence correctly or run out of time, they do not earn any points.  Put the used papers to the side.  Return only the "positive" and "negative" papers to their bag or bowl.
4. It's now the second team's turn.  The teams go back and forth (or in order if there are more than two teams) until all the papers have been used.
5. At the end, the team with the most number of points wins!

It is important to build thrust and start in smaller groups. 1. Select topic and tell the teacher about it. 2. Write down what you want to say. Look for facts and prepare visuals aid. 3. Write out support words on either small paper cards (NOTE! Not A4 paper!). OR write down all the support words on one paper. 4. Inititally these support used will be used a lot, but the goal is with practice to gradually need them less. But having them gives comfort and a "way out" if you forget what to say. 5. Practice the lecture at home and at school. Try to present it for any friend or family member! Practice, practice, practice! 6. Relax and remember that we should have fun when we hear each other lecture! 7. Now you are ready to present to the group in your class! The presentations begin!
