The Odd One Out Game: Students look at a list of four items and decide which is different. They must give a reason. Everybody holds their answer up at the same time. If their reason is unique they get a point.
Example: Eagle, Owl, Bat, Penguin.
Penguins can't fly.
Bats are mammals.
Bats have teeth.
Bats have poor eyesight.
Penguins can swim.
Peguins only live in the Southern Hemisphere.
Remember they only need to give a unique reason to get a point. If two students or two teams give the same reason, they cancel each other out and don't get a point.
Dislikes: Simple worksheet highlighting useful language for discussing dislikes.
Classroom English: Highlights the essential language for getting information when you don't understand something. Great first class. Comes with cards as well.
