Description
Students make pairs. Each student has one open hand (the ‘dinosaur’) and one closed hand (the ‘hamburger’). A vocabulary word is picked to be the keyword. The teacher or ALT calls random vocabulary words and the students repeat them. When the students hear the keyword they use their ‘dinosaur’ hand to try to ‘eat’ (i.e. catch) their partner’s ‘hamburger’ hand. The student that does this first wins one point.
Notes
- It may be worth changing the pairs every few rounds, so a slower student is not always paired with a faster student.
- This game can also be played in groups, where the students stand in a circle. For example, in a group of 3, Student A’s open hand matches with student B’s closed hand, student B’s open hand matches with student C’s closed hand and student C’s open hand matches with student A’s closed hand.
