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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)

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?
