The first one is would you rather. So this is when students make a choice between two impossible things, or just two kind of simple things. Would you rather have coffee or tea? The second idea I have is hot potato. This is just kind of a fun little simple game. Students pass around an object and you can find Hot Potato music on YouTube. Then when the music stops, whoever's holding that object has to do a task. Whatever that task is, it really is up to you.    • Fun ESL Speaking Activity for Kids: Hot Po...   The next idea for a 5-minute game is 20 questions. I'm sure you've played this before. This is when someone chooses a person, a place, or a thing and then the other people have to ask questions to try to figure out what it is. But the catch is that they only have 20 questions to figure it out.    • Top 20 ESL questions and answers | Common ...   The next idea I have is name five things. Put students into pairs or small groups and they can each have a pen and piece of paper. And I could say name five farm animals. They have to quickly write them down and the first team that writes all five down, they put their hand up and you can check and they get a point.    • ESL Warm Up Activity: Name 5 things | Easy...   The next simple game is hangman. Of course, this is a classic. I don't love to do it that much but it can be quite fun to do once in a while. Hangman I find is a bit gruesome, so I like to do a spider instead. You draw a little body and the legs and the eyes and the nose on that. The next idea for a five-minute game is mixed-up sentences. Write some sentences kind of targeting the grammar or vocabulary that you want to focus on, but then mix them up in terms of word order. Students have to work together with a partner to try to unscramble the sentences.    • Mixed up sentences for ESL/EFL Teachers | ...   Another idea for a five-minute game is telephone. I'm sure you've done this before. Put students into teams. I find that like maybe five or six or seven students works well and they all stand in a line, so team one, team two, team three. That first person, they can come outside the classroom and then I give them a sentence, depending on the level of the students. The next idea for a 5-minute game is a 5-minute debate. Choose something a little bit controversial and then you can write it on the board. For example, cats are the best pet and then get all the students to stand up and then you could appoint corners. Over here might be, yes cats are the best pet. Here no they're not a great pet. Then maybe like in the middle can be kind of undecided. I say everyone stand up, go to whatever corner that you agree with or stand in the middle if you're undecided. And then once everyone is standing up, I kind of elicit some reasons.    • ESL Warm-Up Activity: 5 minute debate | Ic...   Another idea for a five-minute activity is the Alphabet game. I put students into small groups and I get them to write the alphabet vertically on a piece of paper so a, b, c, d, e and then down all the way to Z. And then I give them a topic, for example, animals and I say okay you have three minutes. Write down as many animals as you can that start with that letter but only one animal per letter.    • A Quick ESL Warm-Up Activity: A to Z Game ...   The final five-minute activity I have is Boggle. Maybe you've played this game before and you can actually buy the Boggle game or it's easy enough to make your own. You can write up a grid, maybe 5x5 and then you could put letters just in a random fashion so like a, d, s, t, etc. Then students can make words using those letters but the key is you can only use the letter once in a word and you can go horizontally, vertically, diagonally, etc. Timestamp 5 minute games video: 0:00 Intro 0:09 Would you rather? 0:28 Hot potato 0:50 20 questions 1:05 Name 5 things 1:33 Hangman 1:48 Mixed up sentences 2:09 Telephone 2:58 5 minute debate 3:39 Alphabet game 4:15 Boggle 4:48 Outro
