The time warp game.

 

The time warp game.
Subject	Any topics. I use it for practicing verb tenses.
Richard’s comments.	This is one of those games that will work for any topic. Ideal for a review too. The game takes a while to play properly but you can get a lot of practice into a game. Better for sentences rather than just vocabulary probably.
Group size:	As a board game it is best with groups of up to eight.
Team teaching game?	One supervisor should be fine for a class under control.
Materials	Time Warp game board. Team tokens. Dice. Questions.

Game set up.

Play in teams or individually. We begin at the red planet. You may choose any starting point.

	Throw a dice and move either way around the planet answering questions as you go.
Playing rules.                   Wormholes.	Your goal is to move from planet orbit to planet orbit through the ‘wormholes.’ When you land on a triangle you can move through the ‘wormholes.’ (You move between triangles of the same colour.)

If you are lucky, you can jump a planet.

	First home to their moon base wins.
Elbows out	If you land to the same square as an opposing team token, you throw them back one planet. (This kind of thing is fun for the students)
Variations.	This is one of those games that will work for any topic. Stretch your imagination. I have created a Halloween version using different Haunted houses and I’m sure there are more ideas hiding there.
