Learn how to play the thumbs up game with this instruction video. Thumbs up, also known as 'Heads down Thumbs Up' or 7up is a fun, no prep classroom game that can be used with any target language.
See the video for instructions on how to play.
KEY EXPRESSIONS
You can use any target language you like with this game. Here are some sample expressions you can use with your students:
T: Who was it? / Who touched your thumb? / Who do you think it was?
Ss: It was (Kelly). / I think it was Kelly. /
This game can also be used to practice any vocabulary / expression you want. For example, if you are teaching vocabulary about jobs and occupations, you can give the three students at the front a flashcard each with a job picture on it. Then, when it is time to guess, you can ask students 'What do you want to be?' And the student who is guessing can say the job that is on flashcard- 'I want to be a (doctor).

It was called 7 Up when I was in school (7 students go up) and we'd say (in unison), "heads down, thumbs up, it's time to play 7 up!". The more students up, the more students get to participate.

When I was a kid this was called seven up. I remember us chanting “ heads down, thumbs up time to play seven up”

I had doubt. If the guess was not taught then same game again will go

I doubt it's an ESL classroom game, because it has nothing to do with learning English and this activity doesn't have an academic value. It doesn't even give students an opportunity to produce the language.

The video is just how to set up the game. How to use in class, depends on level, target language etc. For example, when students guess, they can ask "Did you touch my thumb?" - "Yes, I did. / No, I didn't", or some other variation. There are many ways to use this and have students use english language in a natural way. It's a versatile game. Anyway, I understand your point and it's not the best game to practice speaking. It is fun though, and students love it! Great of you've got 5 minutes spare at end of class. Thanks for watching.

This game is ridiculous. The kid tries to pick who picked them? But nobody else can confirm if it's true or not since everyone had their eyes closed ! HA

@Games4esl 2 жыл бұрын

The teacher confirms it!

@rappokalling1 Жыл бұрын

The goal is to produce English phrases and or sentences. Guessing who touched them is simply just for fun.
