| Spoons Game (Contributed by Michael Coggins) |
- Ss get dealt a number of index cards with pictures on them. They then write the words for each picture on a separate set of blank index cards.
- Both sets are collected by T.
- Word cards are shuffled and then dealt to each S, but T keeps the picture cards.
- Ss sit in a circle with a pile of spoons sitting between them.
- T shows a picture card to the class and Ss all search their cards quickly for the word.
- The S with the right word picks up a spoon. The rest must must follow and get a spoon as soon as possible, because there is one less spoon than there are Ss.
- T confirms word and picture and shows class. If incorrect, all the spoons are placed back in the center and a new picture is shown; if correct, the S without a spoon is out and helps collect, reshuffle, and deal out the word cards.
- Spoons are placed back in the center, minus one.
- Game continues until one S remains.
