Mother, May I?

Use this game in your ESL classroom to test vocabulary comprehension & reading ability.

Skill Level: Beginning and Intermediate students.

Materials: Chalk board.

Instructions:
Make a list of the day’s vocabulary on the board and choose one student (or use your TA, if you have one) to be the Official Word Picker. Students line up and come forward one at a time. The Official Word Picker points to a vocab word and the student asks, “Mother, may I _______?” If you say, “Yes, you may” the student must correctly act out whatever the vocab word is.
The game can be made into a competition by seeing which students can read read & act out vocab without making any mistakes.
