Today I'm going to talk about typhoon. It's a fun ESL game that I use to review material before a midterm or final exam. I've used it with all ages from kindergarten students, to elementary school, high school, university students, and adults. They've all loved it equally. It's a very versatile game and it's slightly more interesting than kind of the standard Jeopardy. It's just something that students wouldn't have seen before. One of my friends at one of my universities in Korea came up with it and shared the idea with me. I think he actually came up with it by himself so it's kind of an original idea. Alright, so typhoon. I make up a grid usually like about five by five or six by six, and then I put letters a, b, c, d, e, and then across the top I put numbers one, two, three, four, five, six on the board. The students just have blank squares. They don't know what's in each square but I have a paper that lists questions for each square. There are also some special squares so if I have a board of 25 or 36, I would maybe have two typhoons. A typhoon is losing everything so all the points you have up to that point are gone if you choose that typhoon square. The next one is a hurricane. So hurricane is you lose minus five points so of course play it up. You could say something like...oh bad weather is coming and then I always write in the square the letter. So t for the typhoon, h for a hurricane, there's also easy medium and difficult questions, so e and t and h. All start the same one line down. So I write the one line and then students, is it easy ,is it difficult, is it typhoon, is it a hurricane, I like to drag it out very slowly and they get very excited about it. So that's hurricane and then the next one is vacation. So vacation is you just get five free points without having to do a question. Then the other squares are all filled with questions. Easy is one point. Medium questions are three points and then difficult questions are five points. So all of these questions are midterm or final exam review questions. So just whatever material you've been teaching in class you can do on your typhoon game. I put students into usually groups of like four or five people on a team and maybe four or five teams to play this game. Of course, adjust it depending on the class size and my rule is that students usually have to appoint a captain and if they get a question I'll say the question to them and give them a short amount of time, say like 20 seconds to discuss their answer with their team. And then the captain will say the answer for their team. If correct, they get the points. If incorrect, I sometimes will subtract the points for higher level classes which is kind of mean or for lower level classes just nothing happens. They just don't get the points.
