“I spy” game
Just like the classic game of “I spy…” “我看到了。。。”, one player will describe an item, without naming it, and the others try to guess what they “spy”. Whoever got the correct item gets to say “I spy” next.
For example,
- “我看到了红色的水果。(苹果/西瓜/草莓)” give more information to help your child narrow down their choices “它戴着一个小草帽。(草莓)”
- “我看到了一条很凶猛的动物 。(狮子)”
Search and Slap! Game
Each player gets a stack of different coloured blank cards/post it notes (something you can put on top of the pictures). Teacher will call out the word, and each player has to try and be first to find the picture.
Individual activity modification. Using the corresponding themed flashcards, students have to find the picture on the poster according to the flashcards. Put some flashcards of other themes in to trick them and at the same time, teach them about categorisation!
