How to Play

  • Students play this game in pairs and each pair gets a game board and a soccer ball.
  • They put the soccer ball on the "Start Here" circle. One student is Player 1 and the other is Player 2.
  • When the game begins, students will do rock, paper, scissors. 
  • The winner will move a certain number of spaces toward their goal depending on what they won with and say a word/sentence according to the box they landed on. Example: Player 1 wins with scissors, so they move the soccer ball 1 box to the right toward their goal. Then in the next round, Player 2 wins with rock. They then move the soccer ball 3 spaces to the left toward their goal.
  • They continue to do rock, paper, scissors until somebody reaches their goal. 
  • When someone scores a goal, they start over in the "Start Here" circle.
  • The first student to score 3 goals is the winner! 


Variations

  • To play as a speaking game, use images in the boxes. To play as a reading game, use words or sentences in the boxes.
  • To increase or decrease the time of gameplay, feel free to adjust the number of goals to win.

    I used this game for the online class. To do so, I added the animation of the ball appearing on the field where the team stopped (click on the ball, and it will disappear again) - this helped to save the progress. To win, one of the teams had to score 3 goals. - Anon

  • I just want to say thank you so much for all of these wonderful PPT games! As a first year teacher, you're website is truly a lifesaver for incoming teachers trying to get the hang of the classroom. I've played so many of your games now--too many to count, and my students love all of them!


    This one in particular is one of my favorites. I have a very high-energy bunch of 4th graders and nothing seems to keep them having fun, but within boundaries, but this game completely changed the energy in my classes today! Me and my co-teacher were both looking at each other like "!! This is the best game ever!" thank you so much. :) - Denise

  • This site has been a treasure trove of useful and engaging activities that help a new teacher like myself immensely. - Oakley

  • Whoah!!! Wait a minute. I just noticed that this game lets players start at the middle of the field! That is just genius!


    I have not tried this game yet but I believe this will surely be a great hit! - Perry
