I've been giving a lot of thought lately to different activities and how to implement them in class. Carnival games came to mind. We all have sticky balls so here's a twist. There is a carnival game where you throw darts at a balloon. Inside the balloons are different points you can trade in for better prizes. In this game we keep the picture/word hidden and put the flash cards on the board face down. That way whatever the student hits with the dart/sticky ball is a surprise and they should then say the vocabulary word to get a point. As an added bonus you can create 1-2 cards with candy on them and if the student chooses that card they get a sweet treat for that turn.
Another would be like the horse race, we put numbered markers on the ground for instance 1-5 lined up. All the students form up at the first numbered marker. The teacher should have a stack of cards and take turn presenting them to the students. The first student that calls out the card correctly moves up a point. The winner is the first to 5 or whatever points.
We want the students to be so engrossed in the activity by encouraging them to play and have fun they forget to be shy or embarrassed.
