My 9-12 classes call for this game every week without fail; thankfully it's my fav, too.

I can't take create for this game; I picked it up from another teacher.

This game is called "legz" or "the feet/foot game".
It works best with even numbers and at least 8 sts.
You have two teams sitting on the floor, facing each other with their legs in front of them (The 1's are team one and the two's are team 2):

1-1-1-1
2-2-2-2

Each pair is a different vocab. >>

1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4

The 1's are on opposite teams but have the same vocab. etc.

Let's say we're doing "What's your fav. sport?", the 1's are "basketball".

The sts ask the question and the teacher (or another st) answers with one of the vocab.

sts: What's you favourite sport?
T: My favourite sport is basketball.

Now, the 1's get up, run through the middle and around the outside. The first st to sit down is the winner. Here's is a high quality graphic explanation (the 's' is where they start):
