Days of the Week Games for ESL Kids

Days of the Week March. You'll need a fairly long classroom with space for everyone to march up and down (or space outside).  The teacher stands at one end of the room against the left wall.  Line the students up along side the teacher and teacher says "Go!".  As you all march together, teacher starts calling out the days in order ("Monday", "Tuesday", etc.).  Students repeat each day (Teacher: "Monday", Students: "Monday").  March along at a slow pace, but smartly (backs straight, arms swinging).  At certain points teacher suddenly shouts "Stop!".  Everyone must stop and be EXACTLY in line with the teacher .  If someone is out of line, order them back in line and then continue marching where you left off.  Turn around each time you reach the end of the room and continue the march.  Once finished start again, but this time walk briskly.  You can do it the final time running!  This is even more fun when there are tables, etc, in the room that the need to climb over/under.  After a few lessons you shouldn't have to chorus the words - just get the students to chant together as they march.
