This is a fun way to teach English “physically”.

Students spell words on the back of their partner who must guess what they wrote! 

Also, do the same thing but this time, they write on the palm of their partner (who has their eyes closed).

Also try Skywriting.  The teacher writes in the sky and students try to guess the word/sentence. Then, the students can try in pairs..

Neat! I haven’t had the chance to do it yet, but while brainstorming, I realize students can practice conversations related to what’s written on the back. For example, if practicing “How old are you?” “I’m X years old,” students can write numbers on their partners back, who must then guess how old they are using the target sentence.

Again, I haven’t done it, so I don’t know how well it’ll actually work. But, it seems like you can use this activity with a unit related to asking about the time, ordinal numbers, and even dates!
