We can also use the blockbuster with words to ask students write or say sentences.
Absolutely! 👍
Nice game
Thanks for a nice game. Surely, I will give it a try. And the result, as soon as possible I will share with you too.
Please do and you're welcome! :)
Hi, from Ukraine, Teacher Val!
I'm so excited about your videos, you are GREAT!!! I watched your livestream and wanted to send you an email, but I can't find your address. Where can I find it, if it's possible? Thanks!
Здравствуйте, Наташа! Спасибо на добром слове.

Thanks so much!!!
so good
Thank you! 🌹
High quality content.
Thank you very much!
It's helpful
Thanks!
Hey Val and thanks for the video! Just wanted to ask: what if the key vocabulary doesn't have any expression for some letters, e.g X, Y or Z? Should I just omit the letters or...?
You are welcome! You don't need to include the entire alphabet. Include the letters that serve your purpose. I often include the same letter twice or even three times. Why not?!! :)))
No Hustling ❤
Thanks alot .l'm from Iraq .actually l like your way in teaching
Thank you, sir! All the best!!!
Excellent sir.
Could you please games regarding "Tenses"?
Thank you! I don't teach a few tenses in one lesson. One tense at a time. :)
nice
Hi! I like the idea and I’ll try it out tomorrow morning! I thought of trying the second round with telling the students a piece od vocabulary whereas they need to give back the definition. What do you think?
Thanks, bye
Yes! You can vary it in many ways. Students never get enough of this game. Also, some teachers write the numbers (3-12) in the hexagons which refer to the number of the words in the sentence. :)
Thank you for your videos, Teacher Val! I don't quite understand, how students are supposed to use any strategy except choosing the letters. Are there any rules to block the other team?
Заранее спасибо, если ответите и простите, если невнимательно посмотрела 🙈
Yeah, I think it's about who answers first
They can block the other team in the corner. Some students do that. :))
❤❤❤
The one who has the most crossing hexagons is a winner at the end? And do they have to choose the hexagon that was next to the previous one or any random hexagon? For example in your video can s choose j instead of G?
The winner is the team that connects the hexagons from one side of the grid to the other (left to right or top to bottom). No, they can't use random hexagons - only the hexagon adjacent to the one they are on.
Thank you for this question! I was looking for it because I couldn't tell who won if anyone at all.
For this blockbuster, I am not sure how a team wins the game. Does one team need to connect hexagons in a row without being blocked or anything else? Thanks. I enjoy watching your videos very much!
Thank you! The team wins when it reaches the other end of the hexagon.
to win ...do they have to do 5 in a row? @@Teacher-Valthanks
@@paulinatejada9165 To claim a hexagon, teams must answer your question. Whoever does it first wins the hexagon. Or, as an option, they can take turns.
Hi, vale. You are my role model teacher 🧑🏫. I have played the football game with my students and they always tell me to play it again. I have a request my class has a very little number of students around 6 and they variate in their ages but they are all beginners. My question is how to engage them all and make them excited to play and win despite their ages.
How old are the children? Role plays, dialogues, sentence games, or dubbing competitions are all good ways to engage students with different proficiency levels.
Hey Val , Do you have any games for to teach transitions for high school level students. ?
Hi Louis! By "transitions," you mean the transition words, right? You can play the grammar horse game. It is a betting game. Divide your class into two or more teams. Ask your class to pick two students to play the game on the board. Each team has $500 (use monopoly money) to bet on different horses (students). They cannot bet more than $250. Take the bets from the teams and then show the grammar horses a ppt slide with 4-6 "fill-in-the-gap" sentences. Make sure to include the word bank with the transition words (finally, moreover, in addition, equally, also, etc.). The students will compete at the board and have to write the transition words in the correct order, e.g., 1 - again, 2 - equally, 3 - moreover, etc. If you bet on a horse that didn't make any mistakes, you double your bet. If your horse makes a mistake, you lose your bet.
I should probably make a video. 🤭
@@Teacher-Val i hope you do a video on this
@@louiskucinski5016 I actually did. :))

Hi. Could u please suggest a game for practicing has, have, do and does.
E.g. Does he have green eyes?
Yes, she has green eyes.
Thank you.
You can do it with flashcards
Sure! I will give it a think.
@@user-xb3cu5zk6e how?
@@sulilatif9143
So you will write the questions on the board. And then the answers but leave the place of (has/have) empty. After that, you will ask the students what should we put here and show them the flashcards which contain had and have and they have to decide. 🥰
@@user-xb3cu5zk6e Thanks. This sounds amazing. I'll surely give it a try. If u come up with more, please do share.
Hi, Teacher Val. How to decide the winner? is the team who can cross and make line will be the winner or only cross without making line?
As in your video, Do the girls team win?
The winner is the team that gets to the last hexagon. These rules are not carved in stone; you can change them to fit your students better. 😉
@@Teacher-Val Thank you
Why is V left out?
What V? The letter 'V'? In the grid, you mean? I guess, I didn't pay much attention to my letters. Of course, you can include the letter 'V'. It's all up to you.
Don't worry about it. Great ideas as always.
Are your learners adults?
No. My students are the fourth graders. :)
