Entering the command anywhere other then the two specific locations produces the response “Nothing happens”. “Xyzzy” is a command that can be entered in the game as a magic word that teleports the player between two locations. The player's job is to navigate the cave, fight the enemies, and locate treasure. The game relies almost entirely on the player’s imagination.

He added many additional fantasy elements, such as elves, dwarves, trolls and more. Woods was a graduate student who discovered the game and made significant expansions and improvements. The version that most people associate with Crowther today is the version that was collaborated with Don Woods. ![]() My idea was that it would be a computer game that would not be intimidating to non-computer people, and that was one of the reasons why I made it so that the player directs the game with natural language input, instead of more standardized commands. Also the caving had stopped, because that had become awkward, so I decided I would fool around and write a program that was a re-creation in fantasy of my caving, and also would be a game for the kids, and perhaps some aspects of the Dungeons and Dragons that I had been playing. Suddenly, I got involved in a divorce, and that left me a bit pulled apart in various ways. "I had been involved in a non-computer role-playing game called Dungeons and Dragons at the time, and also I had been actively exploring in caves - Mammoth Cave in Kentucky in particular. Though the game is based heavily on the real cave, fantasy elements were introduced to add excitement. The original version was based mostly on Crowther’s experience in exploring Mammoth Cave in the early 1970s.

The teams have to try to guess what verb their player is acting out. Give each representative a different verb and ask them to act out their verbs without speaking. Write the teams on the board and draw three columns under each team, labeling the columns as “base,” ” past” and “past participle.”Įach team will choose one player to go to the front of the class. ![]() Have a list of level-appropriate verbs ready before the game, and divide up the students into two teams. Similar to Verb Charades, Visual Verbs is a great verb game to help ESL students practice different verb forms. They can mention synonyms or even come up with wacky ideas!įor example, someone doing homework can also be writing in their journal, planning a travel itinerary or coming up with song lyrics. Students can suggest ideas for the student, but they must be correctly formatted in the following way:Īny student who doesn’t formulate the sentence correctly must sit out that round and receive no points-even if they mentioned the right activity.Įxamples of incorrect sentences are ones using an infinitive or partial infinitive ( Make the bed!), a simple present ( He makes the bed!) or a grammatically incorrect present continuous ( He making the bed!).įor more advanced students, you can ask them to give several sentences for the same action.

Set the goal for points, and the team that reaches the threshold wins the game.įor advanced classes, the student who first pantomimes the right verb can start the game. The first student who asks, “Is it this?” and acts out the right verb, earns a point for their team. Have students raise their hands when they have a guess. After the students get the hang of the game, start with verbs by dividing the class into two to three teams, depending on your class size.īegin by saying, “I’m thinking of a verb that rhymes with ______.” Try to use single-syllable words and verbs. The game is great for expanding verb vocabulary while teaching students about rhyming in English.Įxplain the meaning of “rhyme” to your students and start practicing with nouns. This is the perfect game for all levels, but especially for shy beginners. For example, you could say, “For this round of Hot Verb-Tato, we can only say verbs begin with a, b and c.” 2. In classes with more advanced students, you can challenge students by limiting verb varieties by only allowing verbs that start with certain letters. Students may also be given three random verbs and asked to use them in three meaningful and related sentences, like a three-sentence story. To make the entire experience educational and fun, the punishment can be anything from singing the ABC song to answering three questions in English. When time runs out, the student holding the potato is subject to some lighthearted punishment. Pick a round, easy-to-handle object as your “potato.” Put on some lively music (ESL music or ESL nursery rhymes are great choices).Īt the start, each student must say a verb and pass the “potato” to another student.

It’s because the Cable Crossover machine requires a fairly large area and is usually considered by the general gym-goers as a pretty advanced exercise.Ī fairly high-impact workout, the Cable Crossover is seen as a routine only the “pros” do.
