Bippity Bippity Bop Rules

I have used it with my long term english language learners as well as newcomers.

Bippity bippity bop rules. The elephant must be formed before the center person gets to bop. If bop is not said in time then the person on the outside is now it in the center. If the teacher points to a student and only says bop then the student must stay quiet. The goal of the teacher is it get the students to not.

Once these rules are established then you can use this to introduce and or review vocabulary. If the player on the outside says bop before the middle student finishes the phrase the game continues with the same. If the elephant does not have ears and a trunk by the time bop is called when someone has to replace the person in the center of the circle. The leader points to a player and calls out a picture instead of saying boppity bop bop.

Choose as many of the following objects to also add to the bippity bop game. Yes it does look really silly. Meanwhile the dizzy person in the center yells bippity bippity bop. If they speak at all then they become it.

Give the player in the center a really long phrase other than bippity bippity bop to say. This is the basic game. Bippity bippity bop is a fast paced game that asks students to work together to recall and create specific three person images within a given time limit. Let your house decide which you will use but be aware the there is bippity bippity bop and then there is bippity bippity bop.

The person on the outside does not need to say the bippity bippity part just the bop. If it says bop only and nothing else then the other person needs to be absolutely quiet. Teacher points at a student and calls out an object and that student and the two students either side must quickly react to form the object before the teacher counts down 5 4 3 2 1. This is a playful way to work on focus and collaboration and to make and practice non linguistic representations of vocabulary words.

In groups of 3 students use the basic format to create what i call bippity bippity bop tableaux of target vocabulary. Stream tracks and playlists from bippity on your desktop or mobile device. The player in the middle walks up or points to someone in the circle and says boppity bop bop bop if the player in the middle completes the phrase before the other person says bop the two switch places. The teacher points at someone in the circle and says bippity bippity bop as fast as she can.

Each picture uses three students.
