A game to
play with young children which helps reinforce new words, and will have them
running in terror.
Age： 3-8
Materials:
Flashcards + 1 scary flashcard, such as a ghost,
monster or vampire.
How
to play: Show the children the flashcards one by
one and have them repeat after you. Explain that when it gets to the scary card
they need to run away and touch the wall behind them (or a desk, bookshelf, or
locker) and they will be safe from the scary image on your card.
For
example
Teacher:
Blue!
Students:
Blue
Teacher:
Red!
Students:
Red!
Teacher:
Yellow!
Students:
Yellow!
Teacher:
It’s a monster!!!
Students:
ahhhhhhhh! (students run away and touch the wall)
When playing with small children they may
cry when they see the scary card, so it’s a good idea to demonstrate the came
first with three or four students in front of the class.
Safety
As with all games, it’s important to
demonstrate that they have to be careful when running, and take care not to
push each other.
Variations
If you don’t have much space, or if they
are sitting at desks, you can make them hide from the scary card instead of
running away.
Here are some examples of scary cards that
you can use.

I once didn’t have any scary cards to work with, so I terrified a bunch of four year olds with a picture of a sock and told them that it was very smelly.
