Donated by Erwin
What do you need?
memory game(s) (multiple)
How does it work?
The students team up in groups of four. The students place the memory cards picture down on the table. The first student picks a memory card and tries to find a similar one by picking up one of the other cards. If this card is not the same as the one he already picked up his turn is over. The other students will do the same thing until there are no cards left on the table. The students with the most matching cards wins.
What else do I need to know?
Bring more memory games so multiple groups can play at the same time. Memory can be played by a limited number of people so this prevents a lot of students from doing nothing. If you don’t have memory cards you can let the group make them together. You can also make a set of memory cards with a certain theme, like animals, countries, flags, numbers or words.
Purpose of this activity?
It's all in the name. With the game memory the students can train their brain and especially their memory. If you add al theme like countries, words or numbers the game has more educational value.
Introduction game

Ages: 0-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-16, 16+
Donated by Marjolein
What do you need?
- A group of young people that you don't know yet!
- Blackboard Crayons
How does it work?
This game is a way to get to know your students and to train their English pronunciation. You can play this game with a maximum of 15 students. One of the students starts by telling his or her name and adds something they like to do. Student number two repeats this and adds his own sentence, this continues until the whole group has been introduced.
Example
Student 1:
My name is Louise and I like to read a book (mimics reading a book).
Student 2:
Her name is Louise and she likes to read a book (mimics reading a book). And my name is Susan and I like to jump (Jumps) etc.
What else do I need to know?
As a teacher you can write down the names and the things they like to do on a board. This helps the students memorizing all the names and things.
What is the purpose of this activity?
This game makes it easy to get to now each other. The students not only have to remember all the things other students have said, they also learn more about them. By writing down the names during the game not only the students benefit from this game but you as their teacher get to know your students.

What do you need?
Big paper/chalk board
Pens/crayon
Directions, when you prefer to have pre-prepared directions
How does it work?
Everyone loves competitive games. This type of game can involve running and writing the answer on the board, throwing balls, or the quieter tabletop version of simply holding up the correct answer. Don’t forget: adults can be just as competitive as children, so introduce these games to all age ranges. They take little preparation and can be used as a starter or a main activity in your lesson. This version tests listening skills and comprehension of directions, but can equally be used for numbers, items of clothing, or even animals.
1. Go over directions (turn right, turn left, go round the corner, take the second right etc)
2. Split class into 2 or 3 teams, line each team up in front of board
3. Shout out a direction; the first student from each team must then run to the board and draw the corresponding direction. The first person to draw the correct direction wins a point.
What else do I need to know?
If you prefer, you can have the directions pre-prepared so the student selects the correct direction and pins it to the board, but we find that students gain more from the process of drawing out the direction.
What is the purpose of this activity?
With this game, memory, working in teams and being competitive will be trained. Of course it is also a great way to spend time together and to enjoy.

Eigenlijk is het het makkelijkste spel ooit uitgevonden, maar wij hebben het op alle projecten gespeeld omdat het zo leuk is! Schrijf verschillende Engels woorden op een papiertje en maak teams van minimaal 2 p. Gooi alle kaartjes in een pot en geef ze 2 minuten de tijd om zo veel mogelijk woorden uit te laten leggen. Per goed woord 1 punt. Als alle woorden op zijn, tellen wie de meeste heeft!
Schrijf verschillende Engels woorden op een papiertje en maak teams van minimaal 2 p. Zoek een pot waar alle papiertjes in gegooid kunnen worden.
Eigenlijk is het het makkelijkste spel ooit uitgevonden, maar wij hebben het op alle projecten gespeeld omdat het zo leuk is! Schrijf verschillende Engels woorden op een papiertje en maak teams van minimaal 2 p. Gooi alle kaartjes in een pot en geef ze 2 minuten de tijd om zo veel mogelijk woorden uit te laten leggen. Per goed woord 1 punt. Als alle woorden op zijn uit de pot, tellen wie de meeste heeft! Je kunt het zo makkelijk/moeilijk maken als je wilt. Is er een hoog Engels niveau? Schrijf moeilijke woorden op bv generous. Is het een beginnende klas? Schrijf makkelijke woorden op bv dog. Hebben sommige in de groep een hoog niveau en andere een laag niveau? Deel zelf kaartjes uit en geef makkelijke woorden aan het lage niveau en moeilijke aan het hoge niveau. Dit is altijd zo'n leuk spel omdat je lol hebt met elkaar, de woordenschat wordt verbeterd en je het niveau elke keer wat kunt verhogen. Daarnaast speel je elke keer met de klas samen zodat ze elkaar ook beter leren kennen :-)
Leuk om te spelen met mensen van alle leeftijden en alle niveaus
Play Shape and Seek Game
Education Category: General, Games
Ages:
Play Shape and Seek Game
Shapes are all around us and young kids love learning about them!
Our surrounding gives us plenty of excuses to talk about shapes.
For example:
while you are sitting at the backseat of a car you can show your kid the differences in traffic signs,
the circle roundabout ,
the rectangular parking ,
space or the octagon stop signs etc.
When you go for a walk ask your kid what shape the bricks on the neighbor's house are made of or talk about
the triangle shaped roof as an example.
Here is a Shape and Seek Game:
What You Need:
- 5-10 pieces of construction paper- all the same color (to avoid distraction and keep focus only on shapes)
- scissors
- tape
What You Do:
1. Using the construction paper, cut out squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles.
Once your child masters these basic shape names you can excercise with more difficult shapes like diamonds, hexagons and octagons.
While you may be tempted to break out a rainbow of paper choices, resist!
Keeping all shapes the same color will help kids focus on the shape itself rather than the color and speed up the learning curve.
2. Ask your child to cover her eyes and count to 20.
In the meantime, take your pile of shapes and tape them around the house.
When she opens her eyes, send her off to find one particular shape.
When she's got them, move on to the other shapes, one by one, until she finds all.
3. Fair's fair! so it's your turn now!
Collect all the shapes and hand them over to your child.
Close your eyes and him/her hide these.
Count to 20 and when time's up, ask your child to assign you a shape.
Pretend to need to have reminders of what each shape looks like before you find it.
Ask questions like:
'How many sides does a triangle have again?'
'Is the square the one with four equal sides?'
'Is that a rectangle?'
...
changing teaching roles will reinforce the concepts about shapes and your child will feel great being able to help you learn something for a change!
4. Once you both get fluent in recognizing shapes , you can add a guessing game element to the mix.
Give clues rather than naming the shape.
For example: 'I am thinking of a shape that has at least 4 equal sides' and head on over to the kitchen for some shape snacking.
You can cut sandwiches into circles with a cookie cutter or the back of a glass or just pick shapes ready to eat such as cookies, sliced carrots make great circles, crackers etc.
If you can't find things in the cupboard it might be time to take your shape hunt to the next location...the grocery store!

Buried Treasure Game
Education Category: Games
Ages: 4-8, 8-12, 12-16, 16+
Buried Treasure Game
Has your child ever wanted to become a pirate?
Let's put her healthy imagination into action!
Pirates hide their treasure , bury it in the sand of distant island beaches.
Help your preschooler hide a treasure in an empty bottle, and make a pirate map and show where the treasure lies!
What You Need:
- an empty bottle
- Sand or rice
- Treasures that will fit through the mouth of the bottle such as marbles, coins, sequins, plastic animals, etc.
- Paper
- Markers
What You Do:
1. Let the child fill the plastic bottle at least 3/4 full with sand or rice.
2. Let the child slip various treasures into the bottle. Explain she has just created a
mixture — something composed of two or more materials. How is the each indgredient
different in the mixture?
3. Show your child how the treasures can be 'buried' and 'dug up' simply by rolling the bottle and
shifting the sand inside.
4. Now it's time to make a treasure map! Find a special place for the buried treasure in your child's
room. Draw the outline of the room and have your child add windows, doors, and furniture that
can be labeled and remember that X marks the spot for buried treasures!
To extend this project, challenge another family member to follow the map to the buried treasure. Does it
work?

Educational Food Game

Donated by Worldsupporter Juliette Kwee
This is an educational game in which the children can learn about healthy food.
The teacher makes a circle (from paper or on a blackboard). The children get the different kinds of food and they can put it on the right place on the blackboard or paper.
There is also food which shouldn’t be on the circle, because it is unhealthy food. The children have to place this on a ‘garbage place’.
Also it is possible to evaluate with the children about what they did right and what went wrong.

Chapter 1 - Introduction to sport and exercise psychology
The scientific study of people and their behaviour in the exercise and sports context is called sport and exercise psychology. Psychologists working in that field identify principles that professionals can use to help others benefit from and participate in sport and exercise activities. There are usually two objectives in mind when a person studies sport and exercise psychology: (1) understanding how psychological factors affect an individual’s physical performance and (2) understanding how participating in sports and exercises affects a person’s psychological health, development and well-being. There are different questions psychologists ask during the study. When they study the first objective, they may ask how anxiety affects a player’s accuracy or how a coach’s reinforcement influences the team’s cohesion. When studying the second objective, they may ask if running reduces anxiety and depression and if daily participation in physical education improves self-esteem. Sport psychology has a broad population base. Professionals can use it to help elite athletes achieve ultimate performances, but most sport psychologists are concerned with people who are physically or mentally disabled, seniors and average participants. In the last couples of years more sport psychologists have focused on the psychological factors involved in exercise and health, encouragement to exercise and the assessment of the effectiveness of exercise as a treatment for depression. Because of the broadening of interests, the field is called sport and exercise psychology.
Specializing in sport psychology
Sport psychologists pursue varied careers. There are three primary roles in their activities: conducting research, teaching and consulting. Of course, one of the functions of scientists is to advance the knowledge in the field by conducting
