Vocab with Rock, Scissors, Paper by ESL-KIDS

In this activity, lay the flashcards in a straight line on the floor. Assign two teams and have them line up at each end of the flashcard line. When you say ‘Go’ the first member from each team starts to walk from their end of the line, straddling the flashcards, reading the vocabulary out loud as they walk. When the two students meet they have to Rock, Scissors, Paper, the losing student goes to the back of his/her line and the winning student continues along the flashcard line. The second student from the losing team starts walking and reading the vocabulary until the two students meet and Rock, Scissors, Paper, and so on. Give points for reaching the opposite end of the line.
