1. Scavenger Hunts
What camper doesn’t love a good scavenger hunt? It’s part of the ritual of camp, and it’s simple to make sure your students are getting some language practice while searching. They probably won’t even realize they are learning when you try these fun versions of the typical list and seek.
Description hunts: Rather than writing out a list of items for your students to find, try writing item descriptions instead. You can write simple descriptions (i.e. This piece of metal holds papers together. = paperclip), write your clues more in riddle form (i.e. Inside this box is gold for the taking, but there are no locks or keys to open it. = an egg) or do a combination. The point is that your students get some reading comprehension practice when they figure out what you are describing by your clue.
Adjective hunts: If you want to focus on a certain part of speech, like the wonderful adjective, try giving your students a simple list of descriptive words rather than nouns to be found. They will then have to find something each adjective could be describing. If you do this version, be sure to include some adjectives your students might not already know to increase their vocabularies in the process. Try words such as “spherical,” “musty,” “submerged” or “rustic.”
Vocabulary hunts: A language-twisted scavenger hunt doesn’t have to be complicated. On your list of items to find, simply include some words that are a part of your current vocabulary unit as reinforcement for your students.
No matter what type of scavenger hunt you do, consider making it a photo scavenger hunt, where students take pictures of the items they find rather than bringing back the items themselves.
2. Theme Tag
When I was a kid, I loved playing TV tag in gym class. The rules were very similar to traditional tag. One person was it, and that person ran around trying to tag someone else who would then become “it.”
In some versions of tag, players have a base that they can run to and be safe. In this version, you could be safe anywhere as long as you could name a television show.
Right before “it” tagged us, we would drop to one knee and call out a TV show. If you did this before “it” could tag you, you were safe. If “it” got to you before you called out your show, it was now your job to chase the other players.
We called the game “TV tag,” but you can use any theme at all: colors, animals, sports, etc.
The game gets played the same way; players must drop to one knee and call out an item in the chosen theme to be safe from “it.”
What makes this game great for ESL students is that you can choose any theme you want, and whatever it is, your students will learn new vocabulary words in that category. After they have played the game once, you can easily change up the theme for each game. Your students will have fun running around and not even realize they are hearing and learning new and unfamiliar words. (And they won’t need to carry a dictionary to do it.)
3. Backyard Scrabble
Have you seen the homemade versions of Scrabble that use your entire backyard as the playing board? They are so fun! Your students will think so, too, when they play this classic word game under the bright summer sky in your very own Backyard Scrabble game.
To make your game, first make your letter tiles out of cardboard or card stock, or print them out and laminate them. You will want your letters to have some sturdiness. Each letter should be about the size of a standard piece of printing paper.
Since the yard, field or open space is your “game board,” you’ll have to eyeball your rows and columns, keeping them as straight as you can. You won’t have lines on the ground to guide you where to put letters. Just do your best. It’s okay if things get a little (or a lot) crooked.
Other than that, you’ll play according to the traditional rules, swapping letters only at the expense of losing your turn and making sure each word played connects with another word already on the board.
4. Go for a Hike
How well can your students follow directions? You’ll know if you send them on a hike with written directions.
If you are familiar with geocaching, you’ll have an idea how this hike will work. Hide a small prize for students to find. But instead of giving them latitude and longitude coordinates as you would with geocaching, give them a set of written directions to find the prize.
They will have fun searching, while getting some reading practice in the process.
5. Caption That
I don’t know about you, but I love to take fun pictures of my students. When you have kids at camp, you will have plenty of opportunities to take pictures of fun and interesting ESL activities.
When you do, print out your pictures and post them on a bulletin board. Then put some sticky notes nearby for your students to use when writing funny captions to go with each photo.
