Naomi Said:
Can you plz check my English writing?We Answered:
people who are addicted to computer games TEND TO SOCIALIZE MORE IN SOCIAL NETWORKS. They enjoy talking with others while playing online games. Some of them even have girlfriend or boyfriend through chatting. In addition, people who love online games or chatting think it is more convenient to talk online than talking in person because they don't see each other, so if they did something bad they won't be able to go after them.I hope this one will help...

What are some good games that you can play in any English Class?We Answered:
This is a SMALL portion of ideas that I'm putting together for a mini-conference for January. Three of the sessions will be Literacy related. Many more ideas will be posted on the forum page of the after-school-care.com site after January, 2008 (and also in the articles /tips heading)http://www.after-school-care.com/Forum.a…
Why? Because….
Each person writes down a question beginning with “Why” Example, Why do cats meow? Fold the top over to hide the question, and pass it the next person who -- without looking at the question-- writes an answer starting with “Because” - for example- Because I hate broccoli! Then read out all the questions and answers. Why do cats meow? Because I hate broccoli!
Jumbled Messages … Each player calls out a random letter of the alphabet until there are a dozen in all. The players then have 15 minutes to compose a message, each word beginning with the chosen letters and in that order. So if the letters shouted out was S.S.E.H.I.P.C.E.A.P.A.Z… The message could be SEVEN SWEATY ELEPHANTS HAVE INVADED PITCH. CROWD EXTREMELY AGITATED. PLEASE ADVISE ZEBEDEE. The winner is the player judged to have come up with the cleverest offering. An alternative method of play is to select a word from a newspaper or magazine and to build a message, each word beginning with the letters of the chosen word and in that order. Thus RESTORED could end up as RANDY EARL STARTS TO OGLE RETIRED ENTOMOLOGISTS DAUGHTER.
Categories
Players: 2 or more …The players write down a list of a dozen categories such as fish, flower, fruit, vegetable, animal, bird, country, town, river, boy's name, girl's name, and famous person.
A letter of the alphabet is then chosen at random and the players have five minutes in which to write a word for each category beginning with the chosen letter. For example with a chosen letter of B, the list could be Barbell, Buddleia, Blackberry, Beetroot, Bison, Bittern, Bulgaria, Basingstoke, Bur, Brian, Beth and Beethoven. The players read out their lists in turn. Each word which is not on any other player's list scores a point. The winner is the player with most points.
Word Builder
Players: 10 or more Players are given the same word, preferably something long like 'INTELLIGENT' or 'HYPOTHETICAL' and have 10 minutes in which to write as many words as they can using the letters at the start of the word. Words must be at least four letters long and foreign words, plurals, abbreviations and proper nouns are not allowed. A beginning letter can only be used in a word as many times as it appears in the 'starter word'. The winner is the player with most acceptable words, in case of disputes; it is advisable to keep a dictionary handy.
Season/Holiday or Themed Word Race
Challenge your friends to a race of the minds.
Set a kitchen timer for one minute. When the time starts, write down as many of the season or Holiday-related words that you can think of. Example Christmas:—wreath, mistletoe, sled, snow, ribbon, gifts, tree, tinsel, shopping, candy cane, cookies, candles, lights, snowman, bells, angel, ornaments, etc. Valentine Day: heart, cupid, love, gifts, candy, sweets, sweet, cards, flowers, jewelry, dinner out, kiss, hug, like, etc.
Themed Pictionary
Need: Black board / chalk or dry erase board, markers, timer, slips of paper with different themed items/objects on each one. Example Winter theme: mittens, coat, candy cane, snowflake, etc.
Divide the kids into teams. The player up- draws a slip of paper from the bowl, reads it silently and hands to caregiver/teacher. The player must then draw clues as to what is on their paper and get their team to say what it is. If the playing team guesses correctly, before the timer runs out, they get two points.
If the playing team cannot guess correctly, before the timer runs out, the opposing team may take one guess. If the opposing team guesses correctly they get a point and the playing team loses a point. Most points wins. For younger children … DON”T divide into teams; use a timer or keep track of points. Just play until someone calls out the right answer.
Any Holiday, Seasonal or Themed Word Find
Take a Holiday related word. Example of Thanksgiving: A word choice could be Mayflower, Cornucopia, etc. Find as many little words as possible within before the timer runs out.
Example: Cornucopia Words - corn, pin, no, arc, car, nip, cop, cup, on, or, rap...
Example: Mayflower Words- May, flower, flow, flare, lay, low, fear, ear, owe, fly, rye, wear, row...
Rumors: Select Teams. The first person on each team goes out of the area and all team captains together make up a message. This same message will be used by all teams.
On the sign to start, the first captain of each team whispers the Rumor to the next person on their team. They will whisper the Rumor to the next - and so on. The last person to receive the Rumor will run to the black board, white board, or flip chart and WRITES THE MESSAGE. The closest correct message to the Rumor wins.
Building Words
For players who CAN read and spell. The first person writes down a letter. The next person adds a letter, and must have a word in mind. The next player adds another letter, again working towards spelling out a word. Next player adds another letter, and so on, until nobody can add another letter. If you think the other player doesn't have a word in mind, you can challenge him, and if he can't tell you the word, he's out.

Creative Story Telling
On-going group circle story: Form a circle and have one person start a story. Use an object such as a small ball; when the first person is done with his/her two or three lines, the object is passed along, until the story is complete. Telling the story works best when the sentences are stopped at mid-point. The last person completes the entire sentence.
Creative story on long roll paper: The procedure is the same as above; however, it is written on paper. Have each child use a different color marker and stop in mid-sentence, until the last sentence completes the story. This can be on-going.
Rhyme time: Think of words. Children take turns seeing how many “real” rhyming words they can think of. When one word is worn out, choose another word. Remind them “nice” words only! Spring, ring, bring, thing, fling, ding, king, ping, sting, and zing!
Comical Creations: Materials Needed: white paper; pencils or pens; simple comic strips; colored pencils (if desired)
Preparation: As a group, review several popular comic strips that involve a winter (or any) theme. Examine the various types of humor, plot, and drawing style.
Time: 30-90 minutes (may be divide into two or three periods)
Directions: Create a cartoon character with some distinctive feature that suggests winter.(or another season) -- Snowmen, snowflakes, penguins, and people warmly dressed are naturals. After creating a character, write a short, humorous episode involving your character. Draw three or more comic-style frames to illustrate the episode.
