Egg Drop

Hot Potato variation game

A game we play to practice speaking. High school students had fun, but I think it'll suit other levels with a bit of tweaking.

How we play
* JTE decides on a sentence, question, or both to practice. The sentence/s are written on the board. Sometimes it's fixed; sometimes students have to change some words or fill some gaps.
* We usually play with a point system. Students play by team. Each member gets a number.
* JTE chooses a number and then a round begins.
* One by one, the player from each team says the practice sentence/s as fast and as accurately as they can.
* When the egg drops while a player is speaking, the player's team gets less points.

In some classes, we didn't have a point system. We made students write down the sentence in their notebooks as penalty.
In some classes, we had a different set of sentences to practice for each round.

I attached some notes in the presentation if you'd like to edit anything.

Hope it helps! 😊

      How do you get the egg to drop on the PowerPoint?

      The egg drops automatically, but you can change the time. Change the time it takes for egg to drop on the Animation Pane by right clicking on Entrance Effect of "Egg" >> Timing >> Duration.
