I sometimes play a game. I draw a 25 (or larger) squared grid on the board number it from 1to 5 & A to E. leave the squares blank. Divide the class in two and alternative ss ask for a square i.e. A -4. You will have prepared a separate grid on a sheet of paper with all the new words. You will then read out the word from your sheet (this also allows you to cheat a bit in favour of weaker ss)& write it into its square. The SS must make a sentence or explain the meaning in English. To make it more interesting you can play for points and include bombs (for a- score) and smiles (for a + score) include some activities instead of words (ss to throw a ball/object into a basket if successful add points, play rock, scissors & paper with u for a - score if you win and a + score if the ss wins. Make it fun. Also if the ss in question doesn�t know the answer allow his team mates to answer for less points. And so on and so on.
Also you can make a snakes and ladder type �race track� print and cut out a pink and a blue banana use them as markers and have a banana race.
Enjoy. |
