I need a game to help students practice entire conversations. Starting, continuing and ending them politely. Does this teach a model to follow?

This conversation game tends to work with single questions. You can extend it, but it takes a bit more work on your part.

I can only vouch for starting them. Most of my students were natural talkers. But it did seen to keep them engaged. I would suggest putting up the who? What? Why? Where? When? and How on the board and have someone ask a follow up question. I also used a cooosh

...coosh ball (sp) or any soft item to toss to the next student. This kept them listening to the talker because when talker was done they threw to next student.

Cincy this will be perfect. As well as a briad range of topics the guidebook is brilliant and provides a sound basis for conversational etiquette in a easy to understand way. The Art od Food and the Art of Travel COnversation are brilliant too. One of the authors is a teacher and a nurse so it's very practical and was well-tested on various people before its release. I find it an extraordinary resource for all kinds of purposes.

I haven't played played either of those games, so don't know. Games from Facebook, Wild Tangent, and others I have played with success. It would probably be best to have other programs shut off, to be sure.

Pretty much okay for school work. As for high-tech games, I don't know. Support from ASUS was not the best as they couldn't tell me anything about disabling the annoying "gestures" feature. To do that, go to Control Panel --&gt; Hardware and Sound --&gt; ASUS Smart Gesture.

Yes! I would recommend this board game. My thaugather was 5 when we got this. At first time she had problem to get the concept but since she got it was fun to play. She loves animals, the cards have animals' pictures and it helps to become more fun while they are making strategues. Kids can use both their logic and strategic thinking to win the game. And also there's another great strategy game named Race to the treasure. You can try that one too but first it's better start with sequence game. Hope it helped!

I used. It for my daughters class of k-3 kids with learning problems. They really enjoyed it but need adult help. Older kids would have a ball and it would be very educational

You can. I've played it with students as 3 player. But you might want to modify the rules a bit. Because with 3 players, you either score 2 points or no points. Which isn't as much fun as with 4 or more players.

Hi! I saw this in a web site related to chess: ¨Training modules for openings, tactics and endgames¨. I suggest you to look for a complete list of properties for this chess software, which is an excellent one! Greetings.

Well, I've played Rollick, and I've seen Reverse Charades. They are essentially the same game. We like Rollick better, as there area a LOT more words to play with, so you won't run out very quickly. Also Rollick has a bunch of twists so it can be adapted for larger teams and or children. You should have fun with either, but if you haven't purchased yet, I'd go with Rollick. And sorry it took so long to answer. For some reason, Gmail buried it in the promotions section of my email.

Sorry. I still use flip chart and blackboard. I feel I get more interaction. But I have been using Word Perfect and Word since the beginning. I just loved the little dot that Word had as a prompt.

I never played the first game, and this one took maybe 10 minutes to learn. Once you figure it out, it only takes 1 or 2 minutes to teach the other players to play the game. My 11yo nephew had it down in under a minute. I recommend searching for Tabletop on YouTube. That's where I first saw the game played online. So I knew how to play it watching that. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWa5RB0aM34

Definitely yes, I've played board games and role-playing with my children since they were 8 years old and they remember fondly.This particular game I would recommend you to play with your children themselves are over 16 year. There are many issues, look for one that you believe is in accordance with the education you have given.regards.Sorry for my english.

I think that the whole family can play it at once. Kids that do not understand it as well could just have fun gathering the cards that they can "afford", which can sabotage other players, which is a fun strategy to play. The learning curve for this game is variable, based on the person, but it is really fun, especially when playing with more people. One thing to keep in mind is that, in my experience, this is not a game to have conversation during. Each person is focused on what card s/he needs to play next, which does not lend itself to talking.

Hi Danielle:I am a teacher and have not used it yet this year ... that is what I plan to use it with ... it should work, but cannot promise. maybe google more info on it. Sound good? Rita

Yes, definitely. However, you will need to spend about 30 minutes a day working through the lessons, and make use of the chat and online conversation features.

you can play this game many times. The order would be difficult to memorize easily. my students have added a challenge by timing how long it takes them to complete a round and then trying to beat their record. or even challenging other classrooms!

Very similar. My only wish is that there were more phrases/words. We've played it 4 or 5 times and already are getting a previous word popping up.
