9. Run to the Board
A good way to see how well students remember words learnt in previous lessons is to do a memory game such as 'Run to the Board'.
This game will really activate your students' brains as they'll need to recall previously learnt words from memory.

These Asian students are very quiet, while in Brazil every single game that we do the competition is sooo loud, everyone screams in the end of the game, we smile and it's so fun, It's cool the contrast of differents cultures. I'm going to do this game with my class today and I'll give the feedback later. hehe

I taught English in Vietnam and this kind of game is a hoot. It's amazing how into it they are.
The vocal level of these kids is really high. So is their level of enthusiasm. That would have been a great class to teach!
I just let my 37 students play this game this morning and it was great. Thank you for sharing :-)

Please! How could you control your 37 students? Any technics!
I called this shiritori, I use to do it with free words, and even my big teenagers enjoy it, it's ideal for people at all ages, I use to do a sentence competition that they enjoy a lot
This is a good idea to write down the list on the board when there is a topic. It really helps to understand and bring more ideas. The good way is that we could memorize better when we write on the board somehow like notes.
Ahh, I remember playing this game in a popular English course/tutoring when when I was 5th grade. The class was a blast, very interactive, but pricey as well. We didn't get to learn grammar as much as in my public school, but everyone seemed to fully understood the lessons, including me. I guess with price comes quality, but it's totally worth it.
It's great to see how well_behaved students they are despite the excitment .my students get sooooo excited and competitive ...maybe becayse in Algeria , stdts are not used to such strategy of teaching...it gets tiresome sometimes but the outcome is worth it . Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Lovely!! Specially when you have this little group of well-behaved students hahahha, yeah I will try it with mine. Greetings from Peru.
Oh my god. I guess everything that easy - is genius as well. Thanks for sharing this great game.
Great video and very easy to follow! I play a variation of this where students have to say the words and if a student repeats a word that's already been said they are out. Cheers!
Thanks a million. The teaching is very exciting!
This activity has more potential than the video shows. The only flaw here is that there are too many students waiting. I would go for smaller team sizes and more teams. But seeing the size of the classroom maybe the teacher is limited by the teaching environment. Great video. Thanks.
Great game. Thank you. A variation could be, if you have a chalk board, to let the teams write behind two different sides of the board so they can't peek what the other team has written...

That's a clever idea. There's whiteboards which are two sided and flip horizontally. Not seeing the other team would create a lot of suspense!

Thank you for your sharing. Now I am teaching English in Czech Republic. I am not a native speaker. So sometimes I got some difficulties of making class activities. Czech students are very shy. I just don' t know how to motivate them.
GOOD ONE I MYSELF DO THE SAME GAME BUT AS A WARM UP TO GET STS MOTIVATED IN SOME SESSIONS. LOVE FROM JAMAL MOROCCO
terrific game ^^ thanks for sharing

this approach can be elaborated to meet higher level of learning
Thanks so much, i liked it and would really try this wih my class.
I liked this activity very much but.. what if other groups' students see and copy another groups' words when they are waiting their turn ?

can divide the alphabet (lower and upper) or assign aceghjlnp (every other letter) to one team, for example
@ihistory8522

Or divide the letters in half. One group from A-M and the other N-Z.
Doesn't one team copy words from the other team?
Amazing idea!! You're so smart and pretty! Now I have a great game for my guys! :) blessings from Colombia
As in Galip Akbulut's comment on each team seeing each others words, I suggest doing some kind of partitioning on the whiteboard, perhaps a cardboard cut out partitioning? Or each team given an A4 paper and write the words down, then other team can't see. Each team lines up in front of A4 paper but far apart from each team, don't use whiteboard.
I really like the game! I have a question. How do you go about "cheating" the same words from the other team? What is the rule for it?

First you delete the words which are common in both sides, then you count the words, the team which wrote more words will be the winner

It works if the students are as well behaved and sensible as these children are.....In most of my classes a large proportion of my students refuse to get out of their seats...so I usually have to choose two students from each team who then battle it out - with input from the ones that do not want to move from their seats.....(or are too lazy or disruptive)

But I think the words should be arranged or numbered for easy counting and identification.

Esta actividad lo hago en mis clases .. es mas, es una de las actividades favoritas de mis alumnos. Pero cada vez que veo a las alumnitas del vídeo me sorprendo mucho porque lo hacen en un silencio y orden que no puedo creerlo. Aquí en mis clases los alumnos se vuelven locos literalmente, gritan, corren, se gritan entre ellos, se corrigen entre ellos.... y cuando ganan ... lo celebran de una manera.... y si pierden se miran entre si y se echan la culpa y demás... mis alumnos son un caso, por mas que les diga las normas del juego, no pueden controlar sus emociones.... algún consejo?

A mi me pasa lo mismo, gritan como locos, y luego nos regañan a todos, pero es bueno aclarar que si hacen mucho ruido se cancela el juego, o que se le baja puntos al grupo que grite.

Are they Chinese or Singaporean or Filipinos?

It is good . But student's from team A who are at the back wil copy the other team's words .
The game must not be competence ...just a game ...all it is nice .
I'm looking from Cambodia I would like video games
hey lass,the camera is over here.
At all time i shout at the teacher to look at the camera..
It seems like students didn't involve with the teacher's actions; You should have students from each group count their vocabularies.
Great!
Great!
