Default Re: Competitive games for HUGE classes! HELP!

Hello again,
What level of ESL is your class?
One concern is: if the teams are very large, students spend a lot of time talking in their native language(s) as they wait for turns. I try to minimize wait time for this reason.
I like to break the class up into groups of 4, and each group of 4 plays the same game independently of all the other groups. This works very well. But you will need enough materials for all the groups.
Many games can be adapted. Look for ways to change games to fit your needs.
What websites have you tried, to find games?
Marie
