Last Person Standing

I just love this game. I learned it from my coworker which she created and it's one of my favorite games. There's no winner but a loser and the students sit in rows and columns and if one person answer the questions correctly, then their row or column (I decide) can sit down. I've explained this game before but you have to make sure that you know the answer because everyone has to repeat the answer. It's funny because you can ask them funny questions and they will respond to it.

I've played this game with my K9 class and it actually took awhile since the grammar was difficult. It got down to the last 3 students and they were so close to the grammar but not enough to answer the question correctly. It would be hilarious because the students would mouth out the words because they know it but they don't want to say anything. When they actually got it correctly, people would cheer and say hooray. That's the first time I saw my students do that since usually they just get annoyed at the person.

It's also great because the students can hear the mistakes and to know what the correct answer is. But it's not a great game to play while I'm sick but the lesson was perfect to play it. I actually had a good day since my winter class is getting better and it's not so chaotic because people are used to the schedule. The first two days were rough though but I better not jinx it. I'm still counting down the days I still have to teach after Chinese New Year. Yep, I mentioned it already but you can tell I'm looking forward to the class being OVER :)
