Ball Games Dominoes Game

Teachers Notes
1 Photocopy and cut out sets of the words below so that there is one set for every two or three students. 2 3 Put the students in groups of two or three. Give them a set of words per group. Tell the students to put the words face down on the table. They can then take six words each. Leave the remainder in a pile. 4 5 Tell the students to put one word from the pile face up in the middle of the table. The starting player must choose one word from his hand and put it next to the word on the table, making a true sentence as he does so. For example, if the word on the table is bounce, the student could put down basketball and say, You can run and bounce the ball when you play basketball.

Bounce

Basketball

6 7

After the student has placed his card, he/she picks up another from the face-down pile. The next student can choose the word at either end of the line to make his sentence. See the example below:

Bounce

Basketball

Run

Students may only make sentences using the words at the end of the line, not from the middle of the line. In the example above, the next player can make a word using his card and bounce or run, but not basketball.

9 10

Students continue until all the words have been used. As the students play, the teacher can monitor their sentences for accuracy and give feedback at the end.
