Hey TH-cam! We are Guys With Games ESL/EAL Activities.
We share new games every week for you to use in the ESL classroom. Our focus is teaching English in a fun way and sharing games that deliberately make English the main entree, not just a side dish.

Today’s Game:
In today’s video, Dustin (Canada) teaches us how to play a fun and engaging game for your ESL Students using a list of categories and your imagination!
Name of the game:
Sit Down and Shut Up!
Materials:
List of 30-50 Categories
Whiteboard/Blackboard
Ideal class size:
- 6-20 Students (adjust accordingly)
Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Instructions:
This game is to improve your student's confidence speaking and thinking on their feet. This is a category game so find as many categories that are fitting for your class' level. For a beginner level, find 20-30 categories. For beginners, maybe the know "Fruit". They know Pineapple and they know Grapes. So, as an example, Dustin puts a box on the board that says Fruit P G (P for pineapple, G for grapes). Make a map of your student's desk on the board and divide the class into two teams. All the students stand up, when one team has every member sitting down, they win.
How they'll sit down:
The teacher will call out a category "fruit, tell me a fruit". One student gives you an answer, they say "apple" so they're allowed to go sit down and shut up. By this, the teacher means, you can't yell out answers anymore. Now, the teacher is looking for that fruit that starts with a P or a G. Once those have been called out, move on to the next category, maybe a girl's name that starts with ... etc. Switch the category as needed until one team is all sitting down.
More advanced version at 3:12
Categories: something you see in the desert, something you see in the desert that starts with an S...an M... A word from last week's vocabulary. A crime that starts with ...
See a demonstration of the game at minute 1:34
Guidelines for submitting games:
Please submit only games that are English-focused. Games that don’t have an English element beyond just using English to explain the rules won’t be considered.

One of the most underrated channels on TH-cam
Matthew Acheampong thanks so much for the compliment. We’re back now and uploading new content weekly :)
I tried this last week. They had fun, but it really got them thinking beyond the standard text-book vocab. Thank you so much!
Great game . Very well elaborated . I’d say “ sit down please and be quiet “ instead of saying sit down and shut up. Absolutely fantastic game. Keep it up.
your channel has really helped me this year, really appreciate you guys taking the time to record these videos. Really creative ideas and i've been able to adapt pretty much all of your ideas to classes with 40 students or more. Keep it up man.
Subscribed. You have awesome games.
Holy crap! Every activity in this video series is amazing. This channel is the definition of a hidden gem! Thanks and keep up the good work!
David Yoo thanks for the compliment. We have stopped uploading new content for now, but please share with your colleagues. We put this together as a free resource for all ESL teachers.
Guys With Games ESL/EAL activities Don't stop! The videos are amazing! I love them so much!
@@GuysWithGamesESL what age are these games for? So this is for vocabulary. Do you teach the class only vocab or also grammar? Thanks
Sheryl Z we’re back! New videos incoming :)

Love your ideas. You guys are creative, thanks.
Guys your channel is so amazing! Keep it up!
I always get great ideas from you guys, thans a lot
Loved the smirk when he told her for the first time to sit down and shut up, just the title of this game is already enjoyable, haha. Great activity!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks for the comment. It’s funny because when we originally published this video, many viewers took it too seriously and filled the comments with their condemnation. We took it down and added it back later. That’s why it’s out of order in our series
You guys are awesome!! keep it up. we are using your methods in Saudi!!
Doing a great job, thanks for the tip, guys!
he has good ATTITUDE
I like it so much 😍😍
I'll try to do it with my class at 5:00 pm today

I wanna ask so for this lesson the main skill is speaking and the complementary skill is? Listening?
Awesome =))
Love you guys.
I've used a few of your games (learning activities!) in class already and will try this one tomorrow! Thanks for ALL of the amazing ideas!
Debbie Sharp thanks for the compliment. We are happy you find our activities useful :)
@@GuysWithGamesESL Follow up - My class of 10-12 yr olds had so much fun with this activity! I split in boys against girls and they wanted to sit on the floor instead of at their desks. It was super exciting for them to do something new...so thanks again! :)
Debbie Sharp thanks for the update! Where in the world are you teaching?
Keep it up.. ~^^
I'm missing the games. Thanks for everything but I want moarrrr
Very good 😍
enjoy it
How about using "Be quiet." instead of "Shut up"? :)
Yep. That is totally up to you, the teacher.
There’s certainly no malice behind either phrase in this game.
Helen, you’re totally right about the “shut up” being inappropriate. It was really meant as a joke .
@@GuysWithGamesESL No worries >W< We adults can figure out it
Why "shut up"? Kinda rude.
you look like gwneth paltrow if she was a guy
What’s in the box?!?
