Product Information

Ladder Golf To play this lawn game, teams toss two balls connected by a string with the goal of hooking their opponents’ ladder rungs. How to play: A great way to get stories flowing! To play, one of the hosts, a member of the wedding party, or the MC announces a series of hilarious questions, prompting the audience to sit down or stand up for “yes” or “no.” Each table ends the game knowing new, interesting facts about their dinner companions and the newlyweds themselves. Would be great instead of just saying, "Sit down" when starting a large-group talk, etc. Something that stands out to me though...beware of things that are embarrassing to kids :)

Paper Fortune Teller Making Keep everyone crafting away with some old fashioned origami fortune tellers. Include plenty of art supplies for decorating.When the next student shares, they state what the previous student said plus what they know and conclude with the words, “And don’t you forget it.” Once students understand the game, you can put them into small groups and have different students create the scenarios instead, asking other members of their group to choose their preferred option. This is a fun way for kids to get to know each other and creates some conversation starters. A very simple icebreaker; each person must think of three things about them - two must be true, one must be a lie. As each person shares the three things with the group, the group must guess which one they think is the lie. 8. Anyone Who? Charades is a classic party game, and can be used as a fun ice breaker game that gets the entire class involved.

New Student Group: students can write about favorite memories or events from their previous school. You have traveled out of the country in the last 6 months…if you switched sides tell someone where. I often hear from teachers who haven’t got enough space for their students to move around in class. There’s no room for them to line up, run around, move desks, or even walk around. These teachers say it’s impossible for their kids to be active in class, even though it’s important. The good news is that there are simple EFL activities like Stand Up/Sit Down that will increase your students’ opportunities to move without increasing classroom chaos.How to play: Set aside an area where kids and adults alike can spread out and play hopscotch. Use multi-colored tape on a grassier surface or chalk where possible. Be sure to include sandbags for more complex games that can be played on a hopscotch course. How to play: By either constructing your own board or utilizing the original childhood game, paste wallet-size portraits of your guests on the game’s flippable doors. Two players pair up against one another and each secretly choose one of the players in their mind. Players take turns asking questions about physical and personal traits to narrow down their opponent’s secret selection. Children stand in a circle and toss a soft object, like a beanbag, to one another randomly. Once someone catches it, they call out the name of someone else to whom they will throw it next. Speaker 2: The Congo River symbolizes dehumanization because the people on the river are acting inhumane by treating other people by being cruel to them. What’s their activity level like? Are they mostly older? Younger? Are you inviting kids? Do they like games? If you and your friends are ALL about corn hole (pictured above), then having it at your wedding is a no-brainer. Or if you met your partner playing weekly trivia alongside your entire wedding party, adding it into the mix makes sense. If games aren’t on really on your or your family/friends radar when it comes to fun weekend activities, then skip them altogether! Your venue space

Set Up :Large dice with dots or numbers based on teacher preference, items to build a tower i.e. Legos or Unifix cubes or counting items i.e. teddy bear counters. How to play: Guests old and young share their personalized marriage advice for the couple’s new journey ahead. Include a place for guests to both write and place their advice cards, and later turn these into a unique guest book. For a special touch, arrange a wine bottle for each upcoming anniversary and ask guests to enter cards for each landmark year. In groups, challenge kids to find objects or items starting with every letter of the alphabet within a given timeframe. This game can also be adapted for online learning, as students can find objects around their home. Ask kids to form a circle while holding hands. They then have to pass a hula hoop from one side to the other without breaking the chain! Origami Pencil: It’s been a long summer, and your kiddos may need a refresher on FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. Origami-instructions.com has very detailed instructions on how to construct a pencil. It also includes pictures if you want to share those as well. I usually read the directions aloud while students construct the pencils. I then have them write one goal for the year on the pencil. This one is always a huge hit!

Sit Down If…

Find the Guest Provide a questionnaire with interesting facts about guests in the room and send everyone on a socializing scavenger hunt. All right. You get to sit down if you choose to share your response. You get to sit down if you choose to share your response. Who’s up for it? Okay, here we go. This is a variation on the classic Charades game and works particularly well for kindergarten students. Example: When the music starts playing, the guests dance and enjoy themselves on the dance floor. When the music stops abruptly, everyone freezes in their current position. The hosts observe and identify any guests who may still be moving or not frozen. Those guests are then asked to sit down, and the game continues. Prepare 5–8 statements on a recent topic (English or other subjects, e.g. maths, science, geography). These statements should be a mixture of true and false.

Provide each child with a small piece of paper, and ask them to write the beginning line of a story. The papers are then collected, shuffled, and redistributed, allowing everyone to continue someone else’s story. You can adapt this game to include prompts, so that each new person must write about something in particular, such as the middle of the story or a twist ending.

Balloon Pop Wall A balloon wall pop welcomes guests to seek messages and prizes inside a wall of balloons just waiting to be popped! Photo Scavenger Hunt Send your guests hunting for the best photo-worthy moments! Include a prize for those who complete their list the fastest. You then ask closed questions or make true/false statements for the students to respond to. You can use flashcards, picture differences, general knowledge, or another set of information like a timetable. Speaker 1: One of my favorite strategies for getting students to respond in a different way is to play the stand-up game. CommentsIt is actually a dynamic activity. Thanks. It is a good warm up. I´ll apply it in my class today.
