Val, I am here to tell you that I introduced the game to my 4th graders yesterday. They got so inspired! I want to thank you for your help, your value, and your channel
Hi, from Ukraine, Teacher Val! I'm so excited about your videos, you are GREAT!!! I watched your livestream and wanted to send you an email, but I can't find your address. Where can I find it, if it's possible? Thanks!
Здравствуйте, Наташа! Спасибо на добром слове. Go to my profile, click on the 'About' folder and you'll see my email address. In case you can't find it, it's valerijusc@hotmail.com
In case the teams can't make a straight line across or up and down, I suppose it's just a total of who got the most hexagons correct to determine the winner.
The one who has the most crossing hexagons is a winner at the end? And do they have to choose the hexagon that was next to the previous one or any random hexagon? For example in your video can s choose j instead of G?
The winner is the team that connects the hexagons from one side of the grid to the other (left to right or top to bottom). No, they can't use random hexagons - only the hexagon adjacent to the one they are on.
Hi, vale. You are my role model teacher 🧑🏫. I have played the football game with my students and they always tell me to play it again. I have a request my class has a very little number of students around 6 and they variate in their ages but they are all beginners. My question is how to engage them all and make them excited to play and win despite their ages.
How old are the children? Role plays, dialogues, sentence games, or dubbing competitions are all good ways to engage students with different proficiency levels.
Hey Val and thanks for the video! Just wanted to ask: what if the key vocabulary doesn't have any expression for some letters, e.g X, Y or Z? Should I just omit the letters or...?
You are welcome! You don't need to include the entire alphabet. Include the letters that serve your purpose. I often include the same letter twice or even three times. Why not?!! :)))
Hi! I like the idea and I’ll try it out tomorrow morning! I thought of trying the second round with telling the students a piece od vocabulary whereas they need to give back the definition. What do you think? Thanks, bye
Yes! You can vary it in many ways. Students never get enough of this game. Also, some teachers write the numbers (3-12) in the hexagons which refer to the number of the words in the sentence. :)
Hello, Teacher Val. I'm Madina. I live in Baku.I introduced this game to our team, and we had lots of fun playing it. Your game is funny. Our Teacher Nigel and I thank you for your work and interesting games.🎉
For this blockbuster, I am not sure how a team wins the game. Does one team need to connect hexagons in a row without being blocked or anything else? Thanks. I enjoy watching your videos very much!
@@paulinatejada9165 To claim a hexagon, teams must answer your question. Whoever does it first wins the hexagon. Or, as an option, they can take turns.
@@sulilatif9143 So you will write the questions on the board. And then the answers but leave the place of (has/have) empty. After that, you will ask the students what should we put here and show them the flashcards which contain had and have and they have to decide. 🥰
Hi, Teacher Val. How to decide the winner? is the team who can cross and make line will be the winner or only cross without making line? As in your video, Do the girls team win?
What V? The letter 'V'? In the grid, you mean? I guess, I didn't pay much attention to my letters. Of course, you can include the letter 'V'. It's all up to you.
Thank you for your videos, Teacher Val! I don't quite understand, how students are supposed to use any strategy except choosing the letters. Are there any rules to block the other team? Заранее спасибо, если ответите и простите, если невнимательно посмотрела 🙈
Hi Louis! By "transitions," you mean the transition words, right? You can play the grammar horse game. It is a betting game. Divide your class into two or more teams. Ask your class to pick two students to play the game on the board. Each team has $500 (use monopoly money) to bet on different horses (students). They cannot bet more than $250. Take the bets from the teams and then show the grammar horses a ppt slide with 4-6 "fill-in-the-gap" sentences. Make sure to include the word bank with the transition words (finally, moreover, in addition, equally, also, etc.). The students will compete at the board and have to write the transition words in the correct order, e.g., 1 - again, 2 - equally, 3 - moreover, etc. If you bet on a horse that didn't make any mistakes, you double your bet. If your horse makes a mistake, you lose your bet. I should probably make a video. 🤭
Hello Teacher Val! I've tried this game in my English training class for senior high school's teacher and they absolutely loved it. It made them laugh and mingle with each other. Such a wonderful game for reviewing vocabulary. Thank you so much dear teacher :)
@@Teacher-Val ,hello,I'm good,we are on holidays in Belarus). But everything good ends quickly,soon we are going home.I'll write you later and send pics)
