Description
Students make groups and get a set of flashcards. They shuffle the cards, and place them face up in the middle of their group. The teacher says one of the key vocabulary words, and the students try to take the matching card before their teammates do.
Once the card has been taken, the teacher says the word again and the students repeat it.
Notes
- For younger students, it’s best to have them put their hands on their heads while they’re listening, to prevent cheating.
- If a student makes a mistake, it’s best not to have a penalty so they don’t lose motivation.
- Once the card has been taken, it is useful if the teacher says the word again and has the students repeat them. This gives the students some speaking practice as well as listening practice.
