Materials Needed
- 2 balls
- 1 dice
- Whiteboard and marker
- 2 magnets
How to play
- Draw a grid on the board with 7 columns and 5 rows. Assign 20 points to each team.
- Place the two magnets in the box at the center of the grid. Ie. 4th column and 3rd row. Assign one magnet to each team.
- Assign directions and numbers to each value of the die. Write these values on the board eg. 1-go right 4, 2-go up 3, 3-go down 1, 4- go left 2, 5- go down 4, 6- go right 2
- Now have the teams pass the balls amongst their teams in an orderly fashion. When you say stop, the two people with the balls must stand.
- They play rock, paper, and scissors.
- The looser must roll the dice and follow the direction of the magnet.
- The winner must do the english practice.
- Everytime a team falls off the grid, the row or column they fell from must be removed, making the grid smaller.
- Then the number of spaces they fall off must be taken away from their original 20 points. They can choose where to place their magnet to start the game again.
Teacher’s role
You ensure the teams are passing the balls properly and not throwing it or holding on to it.
You also decide when to say stop. Try to vary the timing to keep your students on their toes.
Listen to the english practice and correct and help students who need help.
Who wins?
The team with the most points remaining at the end of the game is the winner. .
What’s there to love?
This game has a lot of layers, but once your children understand it, the different layers give them different elements to enjoy and look forward to.
- Make it Harder for Everyone: You can make this game more challenging by telling the winners of PSS that they will need to roll the die too if their english practice is wrong.
