Please comment below with the term "helpful" if you found this to be an activity you think you would implement in your classroom. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel!
Thank you so much. My newcomer class has come such a long way in speaking in class. The first time I introduced this game, only 3 wanted to play. Now the entire class wants to play. I will have to purchase extra sets of UNO cards so that 2 teams can play...ha ha! Their willingness to use the phrases made me so happy as you can imagine.
This is an engaging game which can be adapted so many ways. I am planning to use it in my small group as a great "back from break" activity! It is turn key and needs very little prep. Very helpful!
Thank you for watching. Yes, I was very pleased to stumble upon this free gem. I might try to feature another version of the game or perhaps other fun games that my students enjoy.
Nice activity. Our classes are larger than what you’ve described, but I think the game would work with small groups as well. It would also work similar to go fish, where the asking student is looking to take a card. Very helpful.
I am glad to hear that this is a game you can use. For your classes that are larger, consider breaking them into multiple groups so that each can play the game. There are so many variations to this game and I think it is a great follow up activity to review the concept and skill of the day.
The Language Lady we have started a new project called Other Guys With Games in which we share other teacher/creator videos. If you’re interested, send us an email at guyswithgamesesl@gmail.com
Thank you so much. I appreciate your time in checking out my channel. Please let me know what you think of my other most recent videos and what topics you would like to see in the future. At the moment, I think I am going to work on another video on games as this is what I am currently researching for my students.
What a great idea to implement in science and math to boost engagement and vocabulary! Perhaps you can have students match math problems to answers and that would make a pair.
This would definitely be fun to adapt for science and math. Perhaps adapt the cards to have them match a math problem with an answer instead of matching numbers and colors or vocabulary words with the definition.
@@TheLanguageLady Framingham State Uni has an international Cohort program in Korea.I'm creating my first set of Lesson plans based on a game activity. Can you suggest any standards associated with this type of activity?
Hi Peter! Sure, I think these standards would apply to this activity. BTW, I am honored that you would use my video for your masters project. Please feel free to share my video with your colleagues. Standards: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.8.1.C Pose questions that connect the ideas of several speakers and respond to others' questions and comments with relevant evidence, observations, and ideas. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.7.1.D Acknowledge new information expressed by others and, when warranted, modify their own views. CC.1.5.8.E Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks. CC.1.5.6.G Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English when speaking based on Grade level and content I would also check WIDA standards and see if you can find any listening and speaking standards there. These were Common Core Standards. I hope this helps and all the best of luck in your program!!!
For online student. How do you do it? Can you show it how. Who picks the card the UNO needs people to pick a group of numbers how can you give the cards if your online. if there is a way may you please show it.
Hi Randy! 👋 That's a great question! If you play with an online student, I would recommend that instead of using cards, you can play a game of charades and have students form sentences. The outcome would still be the same because the students are producing language. Let me know if you have any more questions. Where are you from?
Thank you so much! I plan on filming more games in the future. I am still trying to figure out what topic people want to see. Are you also an ESL teacher?
@@daniellemos1202 That is fantastic. I My very first teaching position was with Brazilian students. That's how I fell in love with ESL. I actually spoke briefly about how that happened in my video How I Became a Teacher Tag. How long have you worked there?
