10-15 minutes Groups of 3-5 Practice grammar structures and vocabulary words with flashcards
- Use pictures for less advanced students
- Have special flashcards such as ‘place your marker on any available card’ or ‘remove 1 marker from a card’
- Only allow one marker on each card
- Lay out an arbitrary number of flashcards in a circle
formation, making sure the edges of the flashcards are touching (i.e.
no “holes” in the circle: taping the cards down helps) - Give each player some marker pieces (colored chips work well)
- Prepare a ‘coin’ from cardboard, etc. with a line on each side, from the center of the coin to the edge
- Spin the coin in the middle of the circle and have the first student slam their hand down on the coin
- The
line on the coin serves as a pointer and the student says the
vocabulary word or grammar structure on the card the line points to - If they are right, they place one of their markers on the card
- The first student to get rid of all of their markers wins
