Groups
1. Divide the class into about 4 teams
2. Clear all the
tables and chairs; alternatively go somewhere spacious.
3. The teams stand
in lines at the back of the room. You stand at the front holding the flashcards
for the target vocabulary - about 20 cards works well, so you might need to
photocopy some of the cards beforehand.
4. You shout a trigger, e.g.
'strawberries' or 'what do you like?'
5. The front member of each team races
up to you and yells (e.g.) I LIKE STRAWBERRIES!!
6. You give the card to the
child who says it correctly and fastest. Pretending not to hear the first time
is always fun...
7. Keep going till all the cards are used up.
8. Ask
each team how many cards they got, and keep a note of the points on the board to
encourage competition in the next round
9. Repeat until everyone is
exhausted
They can't get enough of this game. Warning: you can seriously
damage your hearing as they scream the answers in your ear!!
