Description
Students make groups and each get a set of cards with the target English on them. The teacher picks a keyword from the set. The students put an eraser (or pen lid, ohajiki, etc.) in the centre of their group.
The teacher/ALT says the vocabulary in any order. The students repeat. When they hear the keyword, the students try to grab the eraser. The student that grabs it wins one point.
Notes
- The game can be played by putting the eraser on top of a small flashcard that matches the keyword, to associate the sound of the word with the image.
- It’s easier if students don’t need to repeat the keyword before trying to grab their eraser.
