ESL Game: Eleven
Eleven is a fun warmer or cooler for young learners. In this activity students practice counting to eleven. Students sit in a circle and count to eleven with one student saying one number at a time. Whichever student counts eleven is out. The next round starts with the person to the left of the person who is out. Before every round all students change their place in the circle and then the next round starts. The winner is the last student left.
