ESL Giving Directions Game — Speaking: Giving and Following Directions — Pair Work — Elementary (A1-A2) — 25 minutes
Here is a free giving directions game to play with elementary students. In each team, one player is the ‘tank’ and the other is the ‘driver’. Blindfold the two players who are the tanks and place two soft balls on the floor somewhere in the room. The drivers’ task is to guide their tank to a ball by giving directions, e.g. go straight, turn right, etc. When a tank is guided to a ball, the student picks up the ball and has ammunition to fire. Once the tank has the ball, the student takes off their blindfold and fires on the other tank by throwing the ball at them. If the ball hits the tank, the team wins. If the ball misses, the student puts their blindfold back on and the driver guides the tank to the ball again. When a team wins, the game is repeated with the next four students and so on. When everyone has played, the winning teams play against each other to find the ultimate champion.
