Videos of language-learning games

Where Are Your Keys?” is a language game that I just found out about at CoLang. The game is played with several simple objects, such as a red stone, a white stone, a red stick, and a white stick. The players then repeat several phrases about these objects (such as, “what’s that?” and “I want the red stick”) while pointing and passing them around. The phrases are repeated many times with different variations by the players, so the people I was talking to said that they found it was a great way of getting people comfortable talking. This is a video of Mohegan language learners playing the game.

Another example of things that other people are doing with video is Katie Grant, a participant in the Sauk Master-Apprentice program who is making youtube videos about things she is learning in the Sauk language.
