Revision Football

Revision Football

This is a useful way to motivate students to do some simple quick revision of either grammar or vocabulary.

All you need is a piece of paper or card with a football drawn on it.

Procedure

Draw a large rectangle on the board and ask your students what they think it is. Once they start to guess, continue drawing until you have drawn a football / soccer pitch. Make sure you draw it quite large so that it covers the whole board.

Now get the paper football and using some blu-tack, place it in the centre of the pitch.

Divide the class into two teams. One on the left hand side of the class and one on the right.

Now you can start to ask your students revision questions. Questions could be definitions for words or could be questions about grammar rules or asking for grammar sentence examples.

The first team to get the first question right takes possession of the ball and you move the ball part of the way towards the other team’s goal.

Next you ask the team with the ball another question and if they get it right again, you move the ball closer to their opponent’s goal. If the team with the ball get the question wrong then the other team has the chance to take the ball by answering the question correctly.

Each team keeps possession of the ball until they get a question wrong then it goes to the other side.

When the ball gets close to a goal the team can shoot and if they get the question right they score a goal.

This game makes revision activities much more exciting and students collaborate in teams to really think about the correct answers.

Over to you: Tell us what you think
