DobbEnglish

There is an existing board game called Dobble. I wanted to adapt the framework of the game and use it for learning/practicing words.

 

Preliminaries

Number of players: 2~15

Age/ Proficiency Level: B1-C1 (depends on the words selected for the game)

Preparation Time: ~60+10 minutes

Play Time: 10-15 minutes

 

Preparation

Preparation at home:

·       Decide on the topic. I chose London.

·       Select pictures from free icon websites, for example: https://www.flaticon.com/  https://findicons.com/

·       Create cards with an online cardmaker.

·       Print the cards out or create a webpage for generating random cards from the deck. This website will generate random cards from the deck for students. This website is only an idea, I could not create it yet. This website could do it: https://imagepicker.org/ 

In class preparation: Students should discuss what objects they can see in the pictures. It can be a lead-in game. I created a slide for this.

Hand out the printed version of the cards, or ask students to open the website (which is created for this game.)

Object of the game

This game is good for learning new words in English, training the reaction time of the students and practicing recognising those images fast.

Roles

All students are participants. All of them are equal.

Rules of Play

There will be cards projected on the smartboard or projector. Students get cards or they open the webpage on their phone.

Instruction for students:

Any two cards have exactly one symbol in common. If you see a symbol on the smartboard that is on your phone/card, shout it. Then turn the slide with one page or take another card from your deck. Only one student can turn page one time. Then new card is shown on the starboard. There are 10 pages/cards for you. Whoever reaches the 10th page first, and finds the matching image - wins the competition. You can say the words only in English!

Scoring

The fastest is the winner of the game. There is second and third place too (if more than 3 student is playing).

Nakal by Jonnie

Nakal When I looked on the syllabus for this class and realized we were supposed to discuss simulations, I knew I needed to create a simulation so that the students would have the experience of participating in one. Hopefully, the experience will inspire them to create one of their own. Nakal is an Indonesian word for "naughty" but not quite as negative in its connotation. This purpose of this simulation is to help teacher trainees think about undesirable student behaviors and how they will deal with them. Preliminaries Number of players: 8 to 50 Age/ Proficiency Level: university/ C1 and C2 Preparation Time: 10 -20 minutes (in class) Play Time: 60 minutes Preparation Line up game designers to present their game in class. Before conducting the simulation, ask the participants what types of behaviors student engage in that disrupts their learning environment (ask them to interview teachers that they know to find out how they deal with these behaviors) . Write each misbehavio...
