A close observation, memory and speaking and listening game that gets progressively more difficult as more and more items are taken away. The game is a PPT take on the more traditional Kim’s game were items might be on a tray, covered up and one taken away. Children guess what is missing. The game is based on a teacher arriving in class and the items and decoration that is in the classroom. The first slide on each page is the same and on the second one or more items have been taken away. E.g the lunch box from under the table in slide 1 and the empty cola can in slide 2. Children could work in pairs or groups or you could play the game as a whole class. Use a timer for more fun! By the time the children get to slide 14 the classroom is almost empty and there are many items to recall or list. Use less slides depending on the age and ability of the class. Print the slides out for a table top group activity. Very useful for those learning English and links to Describing School/ the classroom.
