Charades
This simple but classic game is a great way to encourage student to get out of their seats and participate in the lesson.
Resources: a list of people, actions or concepts related to the subject you are teaching.
Game: Select a student to stand at the front of the room and act out a word from your list (no speaking allowed). The rest of the class must then guess what the student is attempting to portray. Other students can shout out their guesses or put their hands up – depending on our teaching preference! Whoever guesses correctly can act out the next word.
