Play I'd like a...

Choose a few students to come to the front of the class. Explain the game very quietly so that the rest of the class cannot hear. Students are going to say what they would like. They can choose any word they like, but it must begin with the first letter of their name. For example, Carmen can say "I'd like a coconut", but she can't say "I'd like a tomato".
Start the game: Say "I'd like a (choose a word starting with the first letter of your name)". Point to a student and ask "What would you like? Prompt them to say I'd like a...
Each time a students chooses a word incorrectly, say Oh, no (Pedro), you can't have a (coconut) but you can have a (pencil).
Give clues: Alicia would like an appple and Ernesto would like an elephant.
When students work out the trick, they shouldn't say anything but just continue playing.
Ask the students who know the trick to explain it to the rest of the class.
