Here's my game. It's a simple spinner + cards game inspired by games like Snap/Old Maid. It's designed for Business English learners at B2 and highlights verbing collocations with parts of the body. If you're not familiar with verbing, these are nouns used as verbs.

Adi, this looks like a good game, and it would be fun to try. Also, did you run a conference recently in Chennai with Lalitha Murthy? I invited her to a Business Communication conference in Tokyo in Sept. and am interested in visiting India if you both run further events next year. Let's stay in touch, I have your email address, and I'll get in touch via Facebook too. If you want me to check any materials you develop, I'd be happy to, and maybe I could send mine to you too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alan. That's right, we had a mini conference on Saturday in Madras. My presentation was on using OneNote in Business English. Lalitha told me about the JALT conference. We'll definitely keep you in mind for any events we run. Also, I'd love to swap and review materials with you although I'm mostly working on teacher education projects for the rest of the year.
ReplyDeleteImpressive. I like the game as an idea as well as the design. Very professional looking.
ReplyDeleteHi Adi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your materials. I love your simple game with cards and a spinner. I can think of lots of contexts where it would work well with all kinds of students.
A few comments about the actual materials:
Really neat and attractive, professional looking. I love the design.
The instructions are very clear too – not always easy with a game.
Maybe after the ‘Spin a pen … ‘ stage you need to be clear and say something like:
When the pen lands on a part of the body …
It might also be nice to add a name for the game – you can invent one.
Well done! I think this will be fun and motivating.
Thanks Katherine. You're right about it needing an additional instruction.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting game - I could see myself copying it for other idioms, since some of these are a bit too difficult for my learners. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI really like the spinner idea! Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and the game itself would be great for Business English learners.
