Collection of games

Level: elementary and intermediate

Age: young children

Group size: pairs, groups, or whole class

The teams or groups sit in circles well apart from each other, and are visited by ‘wolves’ (or ‘tigers’ or ‘lions’ or some other animal if you like) from other teams. Each ‘wolf’ has a list of words to be spelt, and fear is shown as he approaches. Anyone who cannot spell the word the ‘wolf’ gives him has to stand aside as a captive ‘lamb’. After a short time the ‘shepherd’ (the teacher) chases the ‘wolves’ away and they take their ‘captives’ back to their own groups. The team with the most ‘captives’ is the winner.
