Hold it up
Put students in groups of five. Write five words from the unit
on the board. Each student in a group writes a different
word from the list on a card. Next, say one of the words. The
student in each group with the word must raise his/her card
up and say the word. The first student to hold up his/her card
gets to choose and say the next word. Repeat. Then choose
five new words and play the game again.
Memory chain
Choose a number of actions from the unit. This game
requires students to listen and repeat what the previous
student said and add on another action. For example, the first
student acts out an action and says a sentence to the student
next to him or her, e.g., I can dance. The second student then
acts out two actions and says them, e.g., He/She can dance. I
can walk. The third student then acts out three actions and
says them, e.g., He/She can dance. He/She can walk. I can run.
Continue until students have said all the actions. Allow
students to help each other remember. When all actions have
been said, start over again.
