Welcome to an ESL lesson plan for a fun game that is similar to the TV game show
Jeopardy. This complete ESL game lesson plan is a listening and speaking exercise.
It will be easy for the teacher and fun for the students. This great ESL game does
not require any special materials or handouts.\
(Yay! No copies!), and it can be played just as well in a large class or a small
one. For a large class divide the students into teams, and let them choose their
own English team names (students seem to really like this). For a small class
students can play as individuals or in pairs. I play this game with my Gongju Boys
Middle School and Tancheon Middle School ESL classes in South Korea. My class size
is between 25-40 ESL students.
Although here in this Associated Content article I provide a full lesson plan that
includes a set of 25 questions for the students, I would also like to provide you
with the complete directions so that you can re-create this ESL lesson plan
yourself. You can tailor this game to target a review of whatever vocabulary you
have been learning in your class.
* Preparation: Create a list of words: nouns, verbs, adjectives & 3 clues for
each. Be sure to print it out J. The most difficult clue should be 1st. It's good
to have varying degrees of difficulty for the answers so students are encouraged
but don't get bored.
* Directions:
1) Tell your ESL students they will be playing a game today. This gets them in a
good mood and ready for some fun.
2) Divide your ESL students into teams of 1-6 students. Have the teams choose a
team leader and a team name that's in English and write it on the board. If
students are hemming and hawing over who the team leader should be, a quick round
of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" usually does the trick.
3) Let your ESL students know that only the team leader is to speak the answer
when its their turn or they will get a minus point. This keeps this game from
getting out of control with noise. As well, if you are reviewing a specific topic
or chapter, make sure your students understand that.
For this purpose you will want to choose whether this game will be played with
open or closed books.
4) Of course it's only fair to rotate which teams go first. Each team is allowed
to guess once in each round of clues
* The point system is: 5 points for guessing correctly in the 1st round, 4 points
for guessing correctly in the 2nd round and 3 points for guessing correctly in the
3rd round.
5) Simply read the prepared clues aloud to the ESL class. You will need
approximately 1 question for each 2 minutes of class time. Then call on team
leaders to guess the answer and write the appropriate points on the board by the
team name. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. It's up to
you if the class gets a reward or not. This lesson moves along pretty quickly and
students like that.
