Rhyming Competition

Posted by sooy · November 18, 2008 · 2 replies

Last week I was teaching a song with a worksheet of questions with it. In one section I asked the students to match the words that rhyme and they were pretty awful at it. I was astonished. Has anyone else ever noticed this? My students are 13-14 year olds and I'm working in China.
Anyway...I'm working on some rhyming games with them this week(like a rhyming last man standing or criss cross game) but I really want a great rhyming game as a sort of knock out competition, with a small prize at the end for the winner. I will run it next week to see how much they have improved. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas what I could do...there is one big thing that must be considered, my classes have 60 students in them.🤦 So I'm trying to think of a knockout game, but I don't want the rest of the class to become bored waiting or once they have been knocked out of the competition.
PLEASE any ideas greatly appreciated😕

No Idea's guys???
Maybe everyone shuts off when they read 60 students 😂
doh

Why don't you play the knock out game, but have only 2 students come to the front of the class and go head to head.... and the rest of the class (divided into 2 teams) can help their team member by shouting answers to them.
Keep score of each round.....
