Brilliant Ideas from Auburn #1

This past week, we've been partnering with some friends and fellow workers from Auburn University in Auburn, AL. They've come in to the schools that we've been working with and done a super-elevated version of what we do on a regular basis. I'll be posting some of their great ideas.

"Who has done...?"

This game requires a little preparation but is great fun for the students. It's a "get-to-know-you"/ practice speaking/ competition game.

Supplies: prepared cards

Each card (size: half or 1/3 of a page) has a list of activities. It looks something like this:
_________ has been to a circus.
_________ has been to North America.
_________ likes to travel by train.
_________ likes to eat ice cream.
(Most cards have about 10-12 activities.)

The goal of the game is to have the students mingle with each other, speaking in English, and finding a person who has participated in each activity. They are to get a signature beside each activity. They should get a different signature for each activity.

This game works best for larger groups. After they complete their cards, you can discuss interesting facts discovered about the other students.
