| Title | Fun Games for the Classroom |
| Body | Editor's note: The following suggestions were recently posted on the FLTEACH listserv in response to a request for fun classroom games. The request was for elementary-level games, but these may be used with older or more advanced students as well. ----- 1. Guess the actor Tell the students they are all famous actors and actresses. They must each decide who they want to be and keep it a secret. The students then move around the class talking to each other and asking each other questions to find out who they are.The students answer the questions as if they were the actor, but they must not give their names, e.g: s1:Where do you come from? s2: The United States. s1: And what sort of parts do you play? s2: For many years I was a cowboy in westerns but now I act in all kinds of films. The student who discovers the most identities is the winner. 2. Tell your fortune Tell the students that they are fortune tellers. Someone has come to see them to find out about their future. They must write the fortunes on a sheet of paper in three sentences: one sentence with will, one with may and one with won't, e.g: You will marry when you are 25. You may be rich. You won't have any children. Ask the students to fold up their papers and to drop them into a box. Shake the box up and pass it round. Each student must pick out a piece of paper to find out their fortune. Ask the student to tell the class what their fortune is, e.g: I may live in Belgrade, etc. Tomic, M. Re: game ideas-elementary.

Write a list of about twenty comparative adverbs on the board, e.g: harder, better, more quickly. Students fill in all nine of their bingo card boxes, choosing from the list of twenty on the board. Rub out the list. Say the adverbs (not in their comparative form) in random order and at a fast pace. Students cross out the corresponding comparative form on their cards. The first student to cross out all their comparative adverbs shouts Bingo and is the winner. Tomic, M. Re: game ideas-elementary. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.
