• Government Vision
Group the students in a circle. Have two students stand in the center
of the circle with funnels. The two students should place the funnels
over one of their eyes and cover their other eyes with one of
their hands. The two students should look at the floor, through their
funnels. Give the vocabulary illustrations to the students who are
sitting in a circle. When you say “Go,” the students should pass the
illustrations around the circle in a clockwise direction. When you
clap your hands, the students should stop passing the vocabulary
illustrations. Say a sentence that contains one of the vocabulary
words. The two students should then raise their heads and search
the circle (through the funnels) to see who is holding the illustration
for the vocabulary word that you said in the sentence. The first
player to do this successfully wins the round. The “winner” should
remain in the center of the circle until he/she is beaten. Repeat
many times.
