Middle School Boys: Behavior and Punishment. Yeah... Middle School Boys are rough. I've been at a boys middle school for the past year. My co-teachers literally do nothing, most of them read books in the back of the class. I don't have a points system, didn't know I should establish one at the start. 1) The absolute #1 most important thing is to establish the culture of your class. 2) Acceptable levels of chaos. 3) Trouble makers. Most recent example that comes to mind is this class I had where my kids were supposed to draw pictures about their summer vacation. 4) Discipline. The trouble makers often don't have great English, but that's not the point. This has gone on way too long, sorry. Some Games I Found Online That Don't Need Technology. Hail Fellow Waygookins, So today the taboo occurred, all the computers in the school were hauled away for upgrades, so I was without a computer in all my classes.

Of course this is the end of the school year and I wanted to do something fun, so I needed the computer. The desperation to get through the period led me to search for some games that do not require computers to play. I found three on the internet and I wanted to share them with you. *Side note, don't bother trying to fill all 40 mins with these games, they're mostly filler* 5 Letter Words How to: • Students call out a five-letter word, eg. . - Good Words: Heart, House, Catch, Crazy, Fears, Train, Crown, Sleep, Small, Hello, Movie, Phone, Cream, Grape, Music, Water, April, Horse, Magic, Pizza A Ship Comes Loaded • Split the class into two teams.

. • Start like this: say to the first student "a ship comes loaded". Street Fighter Fever How to: Find and laminate 2 large pictures of your favorite Street fighter Characters. Games Galore! I have large classes, many low-level students and minimal access to technology, so it took me a long time to compile a list of games to suit my classes. The following is what I've gathered over the past six months.

I realise that there are likely to be several repeats in other lists posted on Waygook, but I thought I would share it anyway for the benefit of others in my situation. Cheers! Games Galore! 20 Questions – Provide a category and instruct students to inquire using yes/no questions. Pictionary Sentence Scramble – Divide the class into small groups of 3-5 students and provide each one with a set of word flashcards with various nouns and prepositions.
