Video games are one of the things young students are often keen to talk about. What's more, they probably know more about them than you, which means plenty of opportunity for real communication.
Instructions
Below I've attached 2 PowerPoints with images of popular computer games.
As you click on each slide the image will slowly be revealed.
You can pause this process at any point by clicking the right mouse button.
Students shout out the name of the game for points
Once each game is revealed, learners talk in pairs and explain how the game is played. This is a great opportunity to review should/must/have to with lower levels. If students don't know how to play, get them to speculate "maybe you have to..."
Resources
The 2 PowerPoints are slightly different:
Lower has short descriptions of how to play each game with missing verbs (kick, win, make, use, etc.).
Higher has more challenging conversation questions such as "Why is it so popular?" or "How could this game be improved?"
