Are you teaching at EF?
If you are – and you’re in Russia, China or Indonesia – then I have a free PowerPoint for you today.
It’s called “The Wrath of Khan,” and I made it back in 2012 when the new Trailblazers books came out. This is for Book 5 and it goes along with one of the chapters in the book.
Now, if you’re not an EF English First teacher then you can still use this. It has fun slides and choices. That means teams have to figure out if they want to do A, B or C. Two are bad and one is good, and sometimes people will die.
Let’s show some images and see if you can get a feel for it.

Try to get your students to read this out loud.
You start out with some basic game slides telling you the rules. There’s some Chinese here, because remember, I taught in China.
Alright, get your class into two teams. Boys and girls always worked best for me. After that there’s a listening round that details Khan’s early life, his childhood, how his parents were killed in a devastating spaceship landing incident on the planet Bieber. It’s tough stuff.

Of course your students will realize that when you give them the 20-queston True/False quiz that comes after. That’s how the two teams get their first points.
After the listening round you have to try and catch some of the kids, which are the good guys of the books. Yeah, Khan is the bad guy, so in this game you try to do bad guy things.

This slide always gets a lot of laughs and smiles and eager students. Yes, they want to learn!
In this case you want to have your students discuss how many soldiers they want to send out to catch the kids. Depending on how many soldiers you send, students can roll dice to see which kids they catch. This is always a lot of fun.
After that the game moves on and there’s some speaking rounds and some other slides. After a bit you get to this fun slide:

Super Fun ESL PowerPoint Slide
For this one you have to decide where Khan is going to get money from. Most of the choices are bad, and when you download this PPT, you can read the results and laugh.
This really is a fun game and it lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. My students loved it and even if you’re not teaching at EF I know you can adapt it.
Good luck in class this week!
