Hi! I hope this might help some of you. I have many games,so I'm trying to post it all.
Speed Word(Vocabulary Review)
Target: Elementary/Middle School
Write every vocabulary words for review twice on the board(inoder so the kids will be confused). Try to group them into two.Team A should circle the word and Team B put an X. 1st pair should be standing face front with students and on their back to the board. Then count to three and say the word"--", then go!Each one who found the word have the point. |

jmcjang - Thanks for the game idea and welcome to the forums!
It's always great to have some new ideas bounced around. I can't wait to hear about the other games you use. |

Good game. I play a similar version where the students have to slap the word - I play it both with hands and with flyswatters. The fastest team gets the point.
I usually get volunteers to write up the words first as well. |

Marco Polo with a Blindfold
This is a game that can be used again and again to practice a simple question and answer pattern. For example, students are learning to ask and answer:
A: Do you like spaghetti?
B: Yes, I do./No, I don't.
Have "A" wear the blindfold. She asks: Do you like spaghetti? Others must answer: Yes, I do. / No, I don't.
"A" tries to catch somebody by hearing the voices to determine their location.
Variation for MXM or semi-private - have both wear blindfolds.
Typical Problems: 1. Lots of screaming and nobody answering; just escaping without saying a word. 2) Crashes; 3) Students hitting the blindfolded student.
Other Q & A examples:
A: Where do you live?
B: I live in Hillsdale.
A: How old are you?
B: I'm 63.
A: What's your phone number?
B: None of your business.
A: How tall are you?
B: I'm 114 centimeters tall. (super hard - but keeps them speaking a long time so they are more catchable).
A: Is your mother pretty?
B: No, she's ugly. |

bigbird - Awesome! What fun! 
I can see some insurance issues might cause caution but I can also see how it would be a lot of fun. Thanks for the game idea!
Do you play regular Marco Polo with them one time first or just go right into your version? |

After demonstrating and practicing the question and answer, I just go right into it.
One kid did bang his head pretty hard on the table. Darn kid had no idea what he was supposed to do. This was for a demo, too. Luckily, he signed.
Now, I make sure they know to use their hands as curb feelers. |
