What do you do when you have 30 eager adults and a deck of cards? Improv.
H.C. Andersen Playing Cards
5 groups of 6.
King rules: Make a rule for the class
Question Queen: Ask the class a question
Jack categories
10: Never Have I Ever
9 for Rhyme
8 for Mate: Started off with the A to Z wave but students upped the challenge to reverse the sequence
7 for Heaven: Stand up and put your hands in the air
5 for Hi-five
3 for Me: Answer a question from the class
2 for You: Ask somebody a question
4 for Whores and 6 for Dicks obviously ain’t suitable.
Stroke my ego:
- A student asked who the prettiest girl in school was and the class echoed “Teacher!”
- Someone made a rule to shout “Gloria is great!”
Bought a set of Jenga: Truth or Dare and made copies of the Scrabble board turning it into a multi-player offline game. I played Scrabble and Jenga since I was seven so it came to me as a surprise that the Chinese have never been exposed to these classic games. I must say that they worked really well and I’m proud.
Off-topic: Love The Way You Lie is on repeat on my playlist after strong recommendations from the students. You have to watch the music video.
