Trip To The Moon

This document describes a game to help students introduce themselves on the first day of an ESL class. The game is called "Trip to the Moon" and has students say "Hi, my name is __, and I'm going to bring a/an/some __" where the item they bring starts with the first letter of their name. The teacher accepts students onto the imaginary spaceship trip only if their item matches the first letter of their name. This gets the students to introduce themselves while practicing countable and uncountable nouns. The game is meant for young learners and takes about 15 minutes to play.

"I'm sorry, you can't go."

themselves (e.g. their age, hobbies, etc) by adding to the text on
the board.
