Young kids 1. Alphabet Soup: Each participant will be given a letter of the alphabet and stand in the room. The teacher calls out one letter and chases the person, until he tags them. The new person now calls out a letter.

Older kids 1. Chinese Whispers: Practice listening and pronouncing easy English sentences and words. Peter tells the last person in each row a sentence or word. The last person whispers the word to the person in front of him/her, and then that person whispers it to the next person. The first person runs to the board and writes the word or sentence. 50 points are given to the first team to finish, and up to 50 points are awarded for accuracy.

2. Who am I?: Practice simple conversational questions and answers. Then, participants write simple sentences (with the aid of a worksheet) on three pieces of paper about themselves. They do not write their name. The papers are collected and each participant is given a slip. They must find the person who wrote the sentence, using English. Once they find the person, the person must sign it in English and the participant gets a second piece of paper and repeats the process. The person with the most slips of paper wins.

3. Pictionary: Participants will be put into two groups. Each group will be given a piece of paper and marker. One person from each group will receive an English word. The person must draw the word and the group members guess. First team to get the word gets a point.
