英语教师教资考试系列：超级好用的英语教学游戏(一)破冰游戏(2)

英语教师教学资格面试系列：
超级好用的英语教学游戏（一）“热身”破冰游戏（2）
简介：“热身”破冰游戏总共有60个，本篇介绍
第11-20个游戏。

“热身”破冰游戏主要功用是
为了加强同伴间的交流，避免交际时产生的冷场
(破冰)；同时，也为了让学生能更快地进入学习
状态。

就大部分游戏而言，热身或破冰的同时包
含着语言学习和运用的任务，但也有个别游戏是
纯粹动作类游戏。

教师在组织这些游戏时，可选
择不同的主题和内容，以使之既能促进同学间的交流，又能促进语言的学习。

11. Blind Robot机器盲人
Equipment: none
Group: 4* participants
Duration: 3—6 minutes
Blindfold one of the kids. Make sure they learnt the vocabularies: turn left, turn right, go straight, turn around, go across, etc. The blind-folded student must reach the target(another student or an object). All the students help him get there by saying where to go.
该游戏类似于Remote Controlled Teacher游戏，用于对指路语言的训练。

要注意的是，在游戏过程中只能使用英语，不能有母语提示。

12. Body Parts Musical Madness快速搭档
Equipment: none
Group: 20+ participants
Duration: 6—10 minutes
Classmates choose a partner. One set of partners stand in a circle. The other set of partners stand in another circle surrounding the first circle.Music starts and this indicates to the students to start walking in circles—inside circle
one way and outside circle the other way. Let the music play for about 30 seconds and then stop it.
Teacher yells out"Hand to knee!" Students have to find their partner and put one hand to the partner's knee. The last set of partners to find each other and get in position is OUT. Students get back into the two circles.Music starts again and the process is repeated until only a few sets of partners are left. The last set of partners is the winner! Watch out! This game can get crazy but it's a lot of fun. It works best with 20 or more students.
该游戏属于指令性游戏，主要锻炼学生的反应速度及同伴配合能力。

在破冰阶段，这是一种很好的交友游戏。

该游戏建议在户外进行。

另外，身体部位不限于膝盖(knee)，八年级(上) Unit 2对身体部位的词汇进行系统学习后，教师可适当改变指令，如hand to back,等等。

13.Bomb当心炸弹
Equipment: a set of flashcards
Group: any
Duration: 3—4 minutes
This is a great game to review the vocabulary. Have a set of flashcards, ask students to stand up, show flashcards one by one and let the students say the word. On some of the flashcards draw a bomb. If students see a flashcard with a bomb, they should sit down and hide their heads without saying the word. Whoever fails to do so gets killed by a bomb and can no longer play. Continue the game until you have the last survivor.
在该游戏中，炸弹的设计是为了引起学生的注意，从而在词语复习中增加一些趣味性，使记诵不再枯燥。

14. Brainstorm Rummy头脑风暴
Equipment: board, pieces of paper
Group: 10+ participants
Duration: 6—10 minutes
You don't need anything except a blackboard and a few pieces of paper. Divide the class into teams of 2, 3, 4 or even 5 kids and sit each team around a desk or a group of shoved together desks. Each group must have a piece or two of blank paper and one student in each group will need to be a secretary. Next, space the paper out evenly on the board and you need to write Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, etc. depending on how many teams you have. Big groups are fine. So now with the desks arranged and the blackboard prepared you are ready to play. It is very simple. You will announce a general topic to the entire group such as "fruits and vegetables" or "animals" or“holidays" or“irregular verbs”or“adjectives" or "Hollywood actors”or "fast food items". Adjust the topics to the level of your students. The groups then will have just one minute to "brainstorm" and write on their piece of paper as many English words related to the topic as they can. So if the topic is animals, they will probably write words like bear, horse, pig, etc. After one minute announce time is up and make sure the writing stops. Choose the team that can go first and ask the chosen team to tell you one word-just one word from their brainstorm list. You will then clearly pronounce the word and write it beneath their team number on the board. Then in turn ask the other teams for one word from their lists. Once a word has been written on the board, other teams can not use it, even if they have that word on their brainstorm list. Keep asking each team in turn for a word and keep writing it on the board until they run out of words.The team with the most words wins the round. Indicate the winner, and then play next round using another topic. The winner of the last game should go first in the next round and that's it.
Brainstorm即“头脑风暴”，指思维活跃、产生创造性设想的状态，往往用于小组讨论之中；rummy原指一种纸牌游戏。

该游戏的目的在于发挥小组内成
员的合作精神。

在实际操作中，可以只取其中的前半部分，即在一个统一的话题下，要求各小组在规定时间内以brainstorm的形式书写单词，写出正确单词最多者为赢家。

每次游戏可设定几种话题。

这样的游戏，可以有效地检测和提高学生的词汇分类能力。

15. Bring Me搭上我
Equipment: flashcards
Group: 5* participants
Duration: 3—5 minutes
Each team has a set of cards, for example, 16 out of 24 totals(or 12out of 16 totals for a shorter game). The teacher calls out one item and scores it off the list. Students bring the card to the teacher. If it is correct,they get two points, but if it is incorrect, they lose one point. The teacher keeps the card. When all items have been called out, remaining cards are subtracted from each team's score. The deducted point encourages students to attempt to read the card rather than merely sight guess.
该游戏锻炼了学生听、读、看的能力，同时也是一种词汇记忆的好方法。

同前一个游戏一样，在课堂内要注意场面的控制。

卡片上的语言，可以是词汇，也可以是句子。

16. Buzz闹哄哄
Equipment: none
Group: 10* participants
Duration: 2—4 minutes
It's a great game to learn Numbers, Days of the week, Months or Alphabet. If using numbers this is how it works: student A says:1, B: 2, C: 3 and so on, when it comes to number 20 (or any other number depending on how old kids are) they say Buzz! The ones who fail to keep up to the right order of numbers, or fail to say Buzz—are out.
这的确是学习数词的好游戏。

除了数词，任何与顺序有关的词汇，如星期、月份、季节甚至是字母（对初学者而言），这个游戏都是相当适合的。

要注意的是，出错者在该游戏中出局后，要替他安排其他活动，以免其停止语言的学习和运用。

17. Call My Bluff吹牛大比拼
Equipment: sheets of paper,pens
Group: 6* participants
Duration: 5—7 minutes
Tell the group that they will know one thing more about every person in the room at the end of this exercise!
Ask them to individually write down two things about themselves that the others in the group don't know about—one true and one false. You have these pre-prepared for yourself.
For example:
I am a twin.
I can speak Spanish.
Once everyone is done, you (trainer) start to tell your truth and lie. The next person then speaks his/her truth and lie, and has to guess the lie of the previous person. You continue around the room in this manner.
As the trainer, you can either guess the lie of the last person in the group or open it up to the group to guess the lie.
Bluff是纸牌游戏中一种虚张声势的手法，call bluff游戏用中文讲相当于“吹牛”。

在这个游戏中，每位选手都说出关于自己的两种陈述（其中一个是假的），其目的是要别人猜测哪个是真实的描述（猜测的句子可简单地将人称置换，如：You are a twin.）。

在游戏结束时，所有人都公布答案。

该游戏可锻炼学生的自我描述能力，同时也是一个很好的破冰游戏。

18. Can't Stop勇攀高峰
Equipment: board, markers, magnets
Group: 10+ participants
Duration: 8—10 minutes
This is a variation of a board game of the same name where two teams race to reach the top first. You can use this game a lot for phonics practice but it can be used for anything. Draw two vertical paths of 8—12 squares each and draw a big circle with a prize at the top. Place a magnet for each team at the bottom of the paths. If team 1 goes first, ask five students from that team to stand. Ask a question and the student who raises his hand may answer. If correct, then his/her team's magnet goes up one square and he/she sits down leaving four students standing. Ask these students: "Do you want to stop?" If they answer "Yes", then draw a line under their magnet and they can't fall bellow it but their turn is over. If they answer "No", then ask another question. But if they get it wrong, they will fall all the way to the bottom or to the last place they stopped. You must ask "Do you want to stop?" after every correct response. At first teams will try to race to the top without stopping, but soon discover it's very hard to answer twelve consecutive questions without any mistakes and thus always plunge back to the bottom.
该游戏类似于“Snakes and Ladders”游戏，但是进阶的方法不是读，而是回答问题，这增加了游戏难度，同时也锻炼了学生的语言能力。

同时，就游戏本身来看，每次正确回答完一个问题，主持者都会问“Do you want to stop?”，这是游戏中的悬念，可以锻炼学生深入探究的胆量和勇气。

19. Celebrity Heads名人头像
Equipment: pens, paper, tape
Group: any
Duration: 2—5 minutes
Celebrity Heads is a fun game that can fill in a few minutes. Students have a name stuck on their foreheads (Previously explain to students that they shouldn't give away clues prior to playing). Before playing, the teacher creates name cards for the group, using the names of famous people (Examples; well-known actors, animal/book/film characters). Name tags are placed on participants where the wearer cannot see them. The wearer then may ask other participants "yes" and "no" questions in order to discover his/her identity. If the wearer gets a "yes" answer, he/she may ask another question (He/She may continue to ask questions until he/she gets a“no”answer). If the wearer gets a "no" answer, then it is the next person's turn. Take it in turns until everyone guesses correctly who he/she is.
Celebrity是“名人”的意思，包括一些演员及书籍、电影中的角色。

在这个游戏中，参与者通过简单的“yes/no”问答，来熟悉这些“名人”，因此，该游戏的文化意义大于语言学习的意义。

20. Change ldentity Game角色互换
Equipment; none
Group:10* participants
Duration: 5-6 minutes
The idea of the exercise is for the students to mingle and introduce themselves to each other. The moment they have finished introducing themselves, they assume the identity of the previous person. Eg. Susan introduces herself to John. After that John is now Susan and Susan is now John. Now the new John and Susan move on to other people. To add to this exercise you can add simple questions for therm to ask. Stop the exercise alter about ten minutes and call the roll. It is quite interesting that some of the answers you get and some you don’t get.
角色互换游戏可以增进组员间的相互了解。

虽然就语言任务而言，此处只是
训练“介绍”方法，但因为角色的置换，其中“出错”的地方会使得参与者获得一种愉悦，尤其在最后的点名（call the roll）阶段。
