This is a simple game that you can use in the classroom. You can use any target sentence or vocabulary for it. It can also be used for a speaking or writing game. The rule is simple, the student or team who do the coolest stunts earn (money). However they can also lose money if they fail a stunt. If you are teaching in a classroom, I would highly recommend making groups and giving them a team name. If you are using this one-on-one you can just add the students name where it says (team 1, 2, 3...) etc.

Estimated time: 10- 15 minutes

Hello fellow teachers! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Here's a simple game your can use with your classroom. I made it with the intention to help my students practice writing vocabulary/sentences but you can try to use it in a different way.

-First introduce some vocabulary. It can be related to Thanksgiving if you want.
-Edit the ppt with the vocabulary that you practiced.
-Introduce the game and explain that, they will have to decide a word/vocabulary or sentence to write down.
-Next run the game to see if they get lucky with their choice.
-They can also keep track of their own points on their paper or you can keep track of the point on a whiteboard.

Again, you can modify this game to fit your lesson.

This game usually runs about 20-25 minutes but you can even extend it by adding more slides. Check out the video to see how you can do it.
