Instead of traditional paper, scissors, rock, teach your students elephant, tiger, mouse. Elephant 
(thumb) beats the tiger (pointer/index finger), which beats the mouse (little finger). Of course, the 
mouse beats the elephant.
Pass the Parcel 
This game can be used for a variety of purposes: English greetings, capital cities, customs of other 
countries. Wrap a small present (pack of sweets, money from home, etc.) in about 10-12 layers of 
wrapping paper or newspaper. The students sit in a circle and, as music is played, they pass the 
parcel around. When the music stops, the person holding the present unwraps a layer. If they 
haven’t come to the present, the student must do a forfeit game, i.e. sing the ABC song, etc. The 
game goes on until someone reaches the present.
