Val, I am here to tell you that I introduced the game to my 4th graders yesterday. They got so inspired! I want to thank you for your help, your value, and your channel
Hello, Teacher Val. I'm Madina. I live in Baku.I introduced this game to our team, and we had lots of fun playing it. Your game is funny. Our Teacher Nigel and I thank you for your work and interesting games.🎉
In case the teams can't make a straight line across or up and down, I suppose it's just a total of who got the most hexagons correct to determine the winner.
The one who has the most crossing hexagons is a winner at the end? And do they have to choose the hexagon that was next to the previous one or any random hexagon? For example in your video can s choose j instead of G?
The winner is the team that connects the hexagons from one side of the grid to the other (left to right or top to bottom). No, they can't use random hexagons - only the hexagon adjacent to the one they are on.
Hello Teacher Val! I've tried this game in my English training class for senior high school's teacher and they absolutely loved it. It made them laugh and mingle with each other. Such a wonderful game for reviewing vocabulary. Thank you so much dear teacher :)
Hi, from Ukraine, Teacher Val! I'm so excited about your videos, you are GREAT!!! I watched your livestream and wanted to send you an email, but I can't find your address. Where can I find it, if it's possible? Thanks!

Hi! I like the idea and I’ll try it out tomorrow morning! I thought of trying the second round with telling the students a piece od vocabulary whereas they need to give back the definition. What do you think? Thanks, bye
Yes! You can vary it in many ways. Students never get enough of this game. Also, some teachers write the numbers (3-12) in the hexagons which refer to the number of the words in the sentence. :)
Hi, vale. You are my role model teacher 🧑🏫. I have played the football game with my students and they always tell me to play it again. I have a request my class has a very little number of students around 6 and they variate in their ages but they are all beginners. My question is how to engage them all and make them excited to play and win despite their ages.
How old are the children? Role plays, dialogues, sentence games, or dubbing competitions are all good ways to engage students with different proficiency levels.
Thank you for your videos, Teacher Val! I don't quite understand, how students are supposed to use any strategy except choosing the letters. Are there any rules to block the other team? Заранее спасибо, если ответите и простите, если невнимательно посмотрела 🙈
For this blockbuster, I am not sure how a team wins the game. Does one team need to connect hexagons in a row without being blocked or anything else? Thanks. I enjoy watching your videos very much!
@@paulinatejada9165 To claim a hexagon, teams must answer your question. Whoever does it first wins the hexagon. Or, as an option, they can take turns.
Hey Val and thanks for the video! Just wanted to ask: what if the key vocabulary doesn't have any expression for some letters, e.g X, Y or Z? Should I just omit the letters or...?
You are welcome! You don't need to include the entire alphabet. Include the letters that serve your purpose. I often include the same letter twice or even three times. Why not?!! :)))
@@sulilatif9143 So you will write the questions on the board. And then the answers but leave the place of (has/have) empty. After that, you will ask the students what should we put here and show them the flashcards which contain had and have and they have to decide. 🥰
Hi, Teacher Val. How to decide the winner? is the team who can cross and make line will be the winner or only cross without making line? As in your video, Do the girls team win?
Hi Louis! By "transitions," you mean the transition words, right? You can play the grammar horse game. It is a betting game. Divide your class into two or more teams. Ask your class to pick two students to play the game on the board. Each team has $500 (use monopoly money) to bet on different horses (students). They cannot bet more than $250. Take the bets from the teams and then show the grammar horses a ppt slide with 4-6 "fill-in-the-gap" sentences. Make sure to include the word bank with the transition words (finally, moreover, in addition, equally, also, etc.). The students will compete at the board and have to write the transition words in the correct order, e.g., 1 - again, 2 - equally, 3 - moreover, etc. If you bet on a horse that didn't make any mistakes, you double your bet. If your horse makes a mistake, you lose your bet. I should probably make a video. 🤭
What V? The letter 'V'? In the grid, you mean? I guess, I didn't pay much attention to my letters. Of course, you can include the letter 'V'. It's all up to you.
Val, I am here to tell you that I introduced the game to my 4th graders yesterday. They got so inspired! I want to thank you for your help, your value, and your channel
Thank you so much! I am happy your kids enjoyed the game!
Every time looking forward to watching your classes.Thanks!!!!

Thankyou Teacher Val for these brilliant ideas to incorporate while teaching language in the class. Its sooo much fun and interesting.
Thank you, June!!
Thank you so much for sharing nice ideas to apply with my students. We're from the Incas' land.
Greetings!!! Glad you enjoyed them! 🌹
Awesome thanks 😊
No problem, Madina! 😊🌹
Great game! I never played this one before! Brilliant! Thanks Teacher Val!
Thanks, Matt! ❤
In case the teams can't make a straight line across or up and down, I suppose it's just a total of who got the most hexagons correct to determine the winner.
Yes! 👍
We can also use the blockbuster with words to ask students write or say sentences.
Absolutely! 👍
I'm greatly impressed watching this brilliant class and learning more.
Thank you very much! Glad you find my videos helpful!
An interesting game! Nice
Wonderful, I got one more which I can play just using a cholk. Do bring such game more and more for us.
Thanks! :))
Thank you! Mr Val for promoting ideas for motivational assessments...stay blessed!
Thank you!

Thank you for this question! I was looking for it because I couldn't tell who won if anyone at all.
High quality content.

Yeah, I think it's about who answers first
They can block the other team in the corner. Some students do that. :))
For this blockbuster, I am not sure how a team wins the game. Does one team need to connect hexagons in a row without being blocked or anything else? Thanks. I enjoy watching your videos very much!
Thank you! The team wins when it reaches the other end of the hexagon.
to win ...do they have to do 5 in a row? @@Teacher-Valthanks

Hi. Could u please suggest a game for practicing has, have, do and does.
E.g. Does he have green eyes?
Yes, she has green eyes.
Thank you.
You can do it with flashcards
Sure! I will give it a think.
@@مرتضى-ي4س9خ how?

So you will write the questions on the board. And then the answers but leave the place of (has/have) empty. After that, you will ask the students what should we put here and show them the flashcards which contain had and have and they have to decide. 🥰
@@مرتضى-ي4س9خ Thanks. This sounds amazing. I'll surely give it a try. If u come up with more, please do share.
Hi, Teacher Val. How to decide the winner? is the team who can cross and make line will be the winner or only cross without making line?
As in your video, Do the girls team win?
The winner is the team that gets to the last hexagon. These rules are not carved in stone; you can change them to fit your students better. 😉
@@Teacher-Val Thank you

@@Teacher-Val i hope you do a video on this
@@louiskucinski5016 I actually did. :))

nice
Why is V left out?
What V? The letter 'V'? In the grid, you mean? I guess, I didn't pay much attention to my letters. Of course, you can include the letter 'V'. It's all up to you.
Don't worry about it. Great ideas as always.
Are your learners adults?
No. My students are the fourth graders. :)

I love your lessons,you are absolutely phenomenal ❤
Thank you so much! You are too kind. 🌹
