GREAT Directions/ Prepositions GAME!!!! Pin the Tail on the Cheetah: Full Instructions Included
Most westerners know the traditional game called Pin the Tail on the Donkey .This is where A blindfolded child is to pin a paper tail to a picture of a donkey. It challenges kids and it is physical. I adapted this game for the esl classroom.
Put this poster on the board and children take turns finding the correct spot for the tail.
STEPS
1. Have the child in the center of the class standing, preferably in a clear isle.
2. Blind the child with a scarf or bandana. Put the tail in the hand and spin the child around if you want to add confusion/excitement/challenge.
3. You may need to gently push the child in the right direction or even lead them to the board. Initial orientation is important.
4. The rest of the class calls out positions (some teachers call them prepositions) to help the child find the way. In this way the whole class participates. It can get quite noisy.Don´t worry, they are learning. Teacher should write the positions and small directional commands on the board to help the kids, commands like:
Turn around.
Go straight.
That´s it.
Go up, down, left or right.
This game will keep kids happy for a lesson and everybody wants a turn. Encourage the class to clap when a child is successful
