This game is a fast-paced vocabulary challenge. Students pass a letter card to their right while chanting “1, 2, 3, PASS!” When the teacher stops them, each student must use the letter they’re holding to name something i
n the given category—for example, “dog” or “dolphin” for the letter D in the category Animals. If a student can’t name anything, they must switch their letter—or, to make it more exciting, they can be out of the game! This fun and flexible activity helps students build quick thinking and vocabulary skills while keeping the energy high.
This game is about saving the profession mentioned. Each student is labeled with a job like teacher, engineer, or doctor. When the teacher shouts "Save your doctor!", teammates must lift or help that person escape. The challenge gets harder when multiple professions are called. It’s a hilarious, physical game and a great ice breaker!
Each student starts with 10 rubber bands and takes turns throwing one at a time onto the floor or target area. If a rubber band overlaps with another, the student gets to collect both! The catch? Once a student runs out of rubber bands, they’re out of the game. The player with the most rubber bands at the end wins. This simple and fun activity is a great ice breaker that gets students moving and laughing!
