Have your own grid written down with a path written on it.
Draw the same grid on the board without the path.
Chalk
Speaking
Explain that the grid is a minefield. Certain squares will explode, and you will lose your turn.
You have the safe path written down. You can’t go diagonally only a square touching your square.
Ask students from the first team to name 5 things in a category. Then they can guess the path.
Let each team try guess the path each turn, and change the student each step they are correct.
Make sure they use the required vocabulary underneath the maze.
If they explode the turn moves to the next team.Â
Don’t write down where the explosions happened, the students must remember.
7-16
15 - 20 minutes
Give each square a letter, or phonetic sound.Â
To choose a square students must say a word beginning with that letter.
Have more than one correct route in case the teams get it the first time.
Have the class try to complete the maze as a whole team.Â
Each team can get points for every right move they make.Â
Increase or decrease the grid size depending on how good the students are.
