Chain Games


A very well known game in English classrooms us the Chain Game. It's simply asking students to stand side by side and say something following any specific rule. There are some variations:

Memory Chain Game:
When student B has to remember and repeat what student A said and add something, student C has to repeat what student A and B said and add one more information and that continues untill someone makes a mistake.

Counting Chain Game:
Make students to practice the numbers in English by asking student A to start the counting and B,C, D, etc continues. To make it more challenging ask them to skip even numbers or numbers with 7 on them or you can create your fun rule.

Rule Chain Game
This is for the practice of any vocabulary segment or phrasal structure, with beginners you can practice saying their ABC's. When students gain a little bit more knowlledge of the English vocabulary you can ask student tho say something following the alphabet order, therefore student A has to say a word or phrase that begins with the letter A, student B does the same with letter B and so on. These are just some suggestions, you can also make your own fun challenging rule, or you can play it without a rule just asking them to review the vocabulary from last class by each students saying what comes to mind as they remember it.
