5 SECONDS RULE game - no preparation needed.

Hands up                             🙋🙋🙋
if you know how to play     5 seconds rule game.

If you're not familiar with the rules, here they go for you:

You're given a topic.
Counting starts.
You have 5 seconds 
to give 3 things that fit the topic.

Seems easy, huh?
Check it yourself to find out how funny or confusing it may be. 😅😅😅

To adapt the game to the classroom environment,
get your students to stand in a circle,
ask one of them to be the time-controller,
start the game by giving an example
(you can also specify the range of topics they should focus on,
e.g. only vocabulary - or grammar-related ones),
the student next to you names 3 things that fit the category,
if (s)he makes it in 5 seconds, (s)he is the one to think of a new topic,
if (s)he doesn't make it in 5 seconds, (s)he either drops out or stands "at the end of the circle line"
(or you can choose to ignore that and let the fun continue).

A few classroom examples for you:
- Name 3 adjectives ending with -ing.
- Name 3 adjectives starting with "a".
- Name 3 irregular verbs in Past Simple.
- Name 3 clothes items.
- Name 3 things that are always yellow.
- Name 3 cities in Australia.
- Give 3 words that rhyme with "fly".
