My post yesterday was left unaswered but I do not give up so easily. Do you know any reading activities that you can be turned into competitive games? In yesterday �s post I mentioned: "Rhubarb" and "The teacher can �t read" but I am sure there is a multitude of others that you may use and want to share on the forum. |

Hi Jarek!Actually I hadn �t ever thought of turning reading into a competitive activity so I can �t offer any ideas here, just wanted to say that the ones you shared seem a lot of fun. I �ll be trying them for sure  |

This
is one I used to use. It�s a scanning
race. You make up a set of questions
about a text (or several texts) and then place the text on the wall or outside
the wall. The students work in pairs. Student
A asks the question and Student B finds the answer on the text and reports back. Then I switch it so B asks the question and
A finds the answer. The first one to get all the answers correctly wins. I like this because it involves listening,
speaking, reading and writing and it�s kinesthetic. |

I meant outside the classroom, not outside the wall. Sorry. |

Oh, here �s another one. It �s like "The Teacher Cannot Read". Divide the class in teams. The teachers reads, stops and points at a student. That student has to say the next word and gain a point. It works very well with long texts that students are not very willing to read alone. |

Hi! I tried some activities and the pupils enjoyed them so you might find them useful I ask the pupils to start reading at the same time and when I say stop they turn the page and then try to retell what they read . you can help them by asking questions and give a point. you can even ask them to predict what comes next if it is a story you can also devide part of the text into separate sentences and ask groups to reorder them and finally check from the text . |
