Kinect Games - A Gaming Revolution


Over time, video games have become a major source of entertainment for children and adults alike. Everybody loves to play video games, maybe because video games allow one to do the impossible, like driving a car at break neck speed, taking on the role of a superhero, do somersaults, fly and even take part in shoot-em-ups. The world of video games has changed and evolved into a new type of gaming that now allows for controller free gameplay.

The latest accessory from Microsoft, Kinect, has made way for games that will allow you to control your game character the same way you would do in real life i.e. with hand gestures and body movements - that is what Kinect games are all about. The unique selling point of these games is that you do not need to hold any gaming device or gaming controller in your hands. All you need to do is stand in front of the screen and the motion camera fitted inside the Kinect accessory will read your body movements and control your game character accordingly.

Microsoft, has developed ten launch games for Xbox 360 Kinect accessory. These 10 Kinect games are of different genres to cater for a varied type of audience.

One of the most anticipated Kinect games is Star Wars. Star Wars on Kinect would literally change the way you have played the game in the past. Players can now battle with the Jedi using a light saber sword with real movements and motion-activated Force powers for a more immersive gaming experience. Kinect has a new interface for this game, whereby players will need to stand in front of the screen and move their hands the way they would move a real sword. The character in the game will mimic the movements onscreen. You do not hold any controller in your hands or push buttons. Hands free control has given a whole new meaning to the world of gaming.

Another of the launch games for Kinect is Dance Central, a game developed by MTV. Game play involves picking a song from a long list of tunes for players to mirror the on-screen avatar's movements. In the game, the Kinect camera reads your full body movements and you score according to your moves. It is a great game just to have some fun and learn some cool dance moves along the way.

Kinect Joy Ride, as the name suggests is a racing game. Again, no remotes, no arcades, just sit in front of the screen and position your hands as if you are driving a car and you are good to go. Players navigate their way around a track by imitating steering wheel movements with their hands, and scoring extra points by leaning back and bending forward causing their vehicle to somersault when it's airborne.

The major feature of Kinect is that it features a full body sensor and the capability to read even the slightest of movements, which really makes game play a pleasure. All of the Kinect games are aimed at a casual gaming audience and the absence of a control system makes it easy for anyone to join in the action using their own body movements.

Microsoft have high hopes that their new Kinect games will win over the affections of casual gamers, where the quality of the games will be paramount to success. Kinect's hands-free gaming interface could well be Microsoft's way of securing a piece of the massive casual games market.

ESL Games - 2 Games That Are a Must in the ESL Classroom


ESL Games are an absolute must in the ESL classroom. If you are teaching ESL and not including games in your ESL lesson plan, then you are totally missing out on some serious enjoyment and your students are most likely not picking things up as quickly as they could. ESL games put fun in the lesson and if it formatted to the lesson at hand, it is beneficial to the entire classroom.

Below are 2 games that have proven invaluable to many teachers. Either game could be played immediately after the lesson has been taught, whether it is just vocabulary, review or a phrase pattern. These games will make you a hit with the students!

Game #1 - Slap N Say

Divide the class into two or three teams.

Taking turns; one student from each team stands and waits for the teacher to say the name of one of the picture cards.

As soon as the teacher says the word, the students standing race to the picture cards and slap the correct one with their hand and say the word.

They then race back to their team and the entire team repeats the word.

The winner's team gets points.

Make sure that you lay down the ground rules of no hitting another student with the bat and no hitting the floor with extreme force or you will not have the bats for long. In China, I just went to the toy market and it was easy and inexpensive to purchase the blow up bats/hammers/etc...

The students NEVER tired of playing this game.

Game #2 - Slap N Say Relay

This game is very similar to the above game in that the student runs up to the board, slaps the picture card or word card with their bat and runs back to their team.

The variation is as follows:

The students are divided into 2 teams and they are sat against one wall. The two children in the middle where the two teams meet, stand and everyone moves in one seat so that the only vacant seat is on the outside ends of the row of chairs.

Then the teacher calls out a word/phrase and the students race to the board, slap the word or phrase, say the word or phrase then run to the outside vacant seats. He/she then sits down and passes the bat to the next student, then the next, etc... until the bat reaches the last student in their team. At which time all the students jump up and say the word or phrase. The first team to do so, gets the points.

Try to get the students to chant the word or phrase while they are passing the bat to the center for added vocal practice. Also, an important rule! Make sure that the bat gets passed to EACH STUDENT! No passing by 3 or 4 students at a time. That is considered cheating.

Both these games are very much loved by the students once they get the hang of it. Your students will be asking to play it after you have shown them how to play.

Including games in your arsenal of teaching tactics will give your class more benefit than you can imagine. Your students will be more attentive, eager and willing to participate freely. Is that not enough reward for a little fun in your classroom?
