How to apply:

The objective of this game is to make students master certain language focus or some language focuses in a cheerful way.

The rule of this game is quite similar to the common Snakes and Ladders game, like; you have to throw the dice and point your pawn in a certain number according to the dice number. You can go up if your pawn step on the ladder and you can go down if your pawn step on the snake's head.

Here, when your students step on a certain number on the snakes and ladders board, they have to answer the question according to the number in the paper that you've prepared before. If they can answer the question, they can stand still on the number, but if they cannot answer it they have to move backward one step.

If there are two pawns on the same number, the new comer can "kick" the previous comer back to the start.

You may notice that there are some stars on the Snakes and Ladders board, if there is a pawn of your students step on it, they have to take a card that you've prepared. The cards contain "crazy" instructions that the student should do.

Tips:

1. Prepare the questions based on the materials or language focuses that you've already discussed. Example: Language focus --> Simple future tense. 

• Questions/ instructions: 
1. Make a sentence with simple future tense! (+) {positive sentence}
2. Make a sentence with simple future tense! (-) {negative sentence
• You can also give questions or instructions from the previous lesson

     2.  Prepare the "crazy" instructions to the cards for the one who step on the stars. Example:

• Touch your friends neck!
• Jump 10 times!
• Run around class 3 laps!
• Do something to your friend!
• Hug your friend!
