L'ESCARGOT: THE SNAIL GAME

A former colleague of mine and good friend Laure Kruger found this snail template and shared it with to be used as a speaking practice activity. It is so simple and I love to use it for students to practice questions and answers, particularly to revise prior to an assessment.

How does it work? Students each have coloured counters and share a dice. Students throw the dice, move that number of squares and then answer the question in the square. If they can't answer the question they miss a go and they may land on a square requiring them to move forwards or backwards. To win the game they must throw an exact number to finish in the centre square. It often takes a few attempts for them to throw the exact number they need and because they keep having to go backwards again, they keep practising and re-practicing the same questions. Take a look at some examples I used recently in class.

Online gaming has become a global phenomenon, offering players the opportunity to connect and compete with others from around the world. With diverse genres ranging from action and strategy to role-playing games, it fosters social interaction and community building. However, it is essential to maintain a balance, as excessive gaming can impact mental health and social skills.
