GAME WITH IMPERATIVES

Divide the class into two teams. Go through the commands you think are appropriate for your level
(or all of them if you like!), explaining what they mean and showing them what they have to do.
Decide which team goes first, then you can start the game!

1) Give a command to the first team. If at least two people do what you asked them to, give the
team a point. If they don’t , no points! Then move on to the next team. Repeat the same
commands more than once, and if you see they are good at it, go faster and faster.

2) Start giving them TWO commands at the same time (ex. “Close your eyes and touch your left ear
with your left hand).
