4 Crazy Snake

This activity aims to revise the vocabulary and the structure that students have focused on in their
particular course.

Materials and Preparation
You will need a dice for each group and a counter for each player for the game. Print and cut up the
board game on page 20 and make sure that each group in the class has one. Print and cut up the
instruction cards on page 21 that are labeled with ‘Challenge Time!’ and sort them into piles for each
group.

Procedure
1 Tell students that they are going to play a board game, and divide class into groups of four.
2 Hand out a copy of the board game for each group and ask them to choose counters for themselves.
Any item or object in different colors can be used as a counter.
3 Tell students that they will roll the dice and move ahead by the number rolled.
4 Remind students that when they land on an action space they have to follow the given instructions
on that space such as, miss a turn or go back two spaces and etc.
5 Explain that if they land on the ‘Challenge Time!’ location, they will pick a card from the stack and
follow the instructions on the card picked. If the players cannot perform the given instructions, they
will go back to the ‘Start’ point. They can move their counters forward only if they perform correctly.
6 The winner is the one that finishes the game first.

elicit the prior knowledge of students about music.
a Do you think music preference reflects one’s personality? How?
b How does music affect your mood?
c How would you describe your favorite song?
