St VALENTINE´s GAME - WHO IS MY VALENTINE?
St VALENTINE´s GAME - WHO IS MY VALENTINE? This is a conversation game for elementary to lower intermediate students, adapted from similar game called Who is the burglar? It practices simple questions: What´s your name? How old are you? Where are you from?/Where do you live? What color is your hair? What color are your eyes? What´s your job? What´s your phone number? What´s your hobby? What´s your favorite color? Could you tell me more about yourself? 1) Give each student a character card. Each card has a small number in the lower right corner (1-16) to be identified easily. Make sure that you choose a number to be Valentine before you hand the card out to the students. 2) Tell the students to look at their card and notice the number but don´t show/tell anyone. 3) “Identify” Valentine by saying “Number 13 is Valentine” so only one person and you know who Valentine is. The person should behave secretive so the other won´t notice who it is. 4) Now tell them the story. The story could be adapted according to your ideas and according to the cards. 5) You can point out some clues or vocabularies from the text and the cards to avoid misunderstanding. 6) Tell the students to go around the class and ask simple questions (above) to find out who Valentine is. 7) After they find out tell them not to tell anyone and wait till the end of the search game.
STORY: Hello, my name is Valentine and I am desperately in love. I´m going to tell you my story: Yesterday in the afternoon around 5 p.m. I met a person near the café Lovetery who immediately caught my eye. It was love at first sight but because love is blind I have noticed only few things according to which I hope I could recognize my Love. The person is in his/her thirties with grey eyes, wore pink hoodie and stripped socks. I fell head over heels for this person and we hugged and kissed. After that I found blonde hair on my shoulder and I realized that I was holding a piece of paper torn out of a book, probably a book of spells, with a part of a phone number ending in number 7. Please help me to find the person I´m crazy about because I want to send him/her a Valentine´s Card. So who is my Valentine? Answer: no.13 Note: Writing in bold could be adapted according to the cards. Underlined parts are idioms or collocations connected with love. Be careful not to give a clue if you are searching for a male or female character.
