Preparation:
Prepare the Game Cube. Print out one game marker for each child. Ensure
you have plenty of building blocks or Legos on hand. Print out a copy
of the three game board pieces and tape them together. Depending on the
size of your class you may need to print out more than one game board
& game cube and divide the children up into groups to play the game.
Before starting the game have the children print their name on their game
marker.
What you will do:
Begin by asking who knows how to speak another language? Say "Today
we're going to learn to say hello in lots of different languages. We are
also going to pretend we're building a tower, just like the people did
in the bible story located in Genesis 11:1-9 - The Tower of Babel. But
we're going to be nice when we build our tower and say hello to everyone!
The object of the game is to see who builds the biggest tower by the time
a classmate reaches the finish line. You will take turns rolling the game
cube and then moving that many spaces on the board. You must follow the
directions on each space you land on. As you get blocks you can use them
to build your own tower or work as a group.
After the game, ask the children to say their favorite new word for hello.
