Child's Play
Find the Card
| This is a good game to use as a teacher check for when you have just introduced new vocabulary. At the end of the drilling session start to casually throw the cards around on the floor instead of behind the stack when you have drilled them. Do not allow the students to touch the cards, which is the first thing they will want to do even if it's just to put their foot on one. When all the cards are on the floor point to a student and say the name of a card. The student then has to find the card, bring it to you, say what the card is and sit down. You throw the card back on the floor, in a different place then it originally was. Point to another student and say the name of a different card, and so on. After a couple of rounds with the teacher dictating students and cards turn it over to the students. Let them choose the next student and the card. With this game you have to set very short time limits. In the begining, while you are controlling the game you can allow longer time limits. But when you turn the game over to the students the time limits should be very short. |
