Introduction

This game combines the topic of Robin Hood with children being able to move, be creative and practice pronouncing different words. Children become more comfortable with the words chosen the more they play, and can integrate vocabulary from any topic!

Target group and Time

This game is most suitable for children who are familiar with the story of Robin Hood. One round with instructions takes about 8-10 minutes.


Learning objectives

Human memory practices speaking. Further, students enhance their knowledge of the vocabulary through combining words and movements.

Instructions to set up the activity

Begin by asking the children to introduce themselves, since knowing names is essential. Ask them to say their name, age, maybe a favorite subject and a word that describes their character. This way of beginning not only helps the leader to know what level of English the children have but also how creative they are.

Human Memory, or Menschen Memory in German, works like normal card memory. There are pairs that belong together and two players trying to guess who belongs to whom. The two children guessing go out of the room, or in the case of playing outside, go inside for 2 minutes, and when they return, they start guessing. In pairs the other players think of one movement (e.g. drawing a bow) and a word to describe the action verbally (e.g. saying "bow and arrow" or "Robin Hood"). After guessing a pair correctly, the person who got it right receives one point. (The matching pairs can then leave the playing field and stand behind or next to the guessing person to keep an overview of the game.) When playing outside, it is possible to integrate found materials such as leaves for a crown or sticks to form a cross into the game.
