    In case the teams can't make a straight line across or up and down, I suppose it's just a total of who got the most hexagons correct to determine the winner.

    The one who has the most crossing hexagons is a winner at the end? And do they have to choose the hexagon that was next to the previous one or any random hexagon? For example in your video can s choose j instead of G?

    • @Teacher-Val
      @Teacher-Val  Рік тому

      The winner is the team that connects the hexagons from one side of the grid to the other (left to right or top to bottom). No, they can't use random hexagons - only the hexagon adjacent to the one they are on.

      Yes! You can vary it in many ways. Students never get enough of this game. Also, some teachers write the numbers (3-12) in the hexagons which refer to the number of the words in the sentence. :)

    Hey Val , Do you have any games for to teach transitions for high school level students. ?

    • @Teacher-Val
      @Teacher-Val  2 роки тому

      Hi Louis! By "transitions," you mean the transition words, right? You can play the grammar horse game. It is a betting game. Divide your class into two or more teams. Ask your class to pick two students to play the game on the board. Each team has $500 (use monopoly money) to bet on different horses (students). They cannot bet more than $250. Take the bets from the teams and then show the grammar horses a ppt slide with 4-6 "fill-in-the-gap" sentences. Make sure to include the word bank with the transition words (finally, moreover, in addition, equally, also, etc.). The students will compete at the board and have to write the transition words in the correct order, e.g., 1 - again, 2 - equally, 3 - moreover, etc. If you bet on a horse that didn't make any mistakes, you double your bet. If your horse makes a mistake, you lose your bet.
      I should probably make a video. 🤭

I have a request my class has a very little number of students around 6 and they variate in their ages but they are all beginners. My question is how to engage them all and make them excited to play and win despite their ages.
