Also known as:
- Up/Down Game
- Timer Game
Description
Students each get a small flashcard with one of the target English vocabulary words on it. A timer is set for around 1-2 minutes. The teacher calls out vocabulary randomly and the students repeat them. If the vocabulary that the teacher calls matches the student’s card, they stand up.
If the student is already standing up, and the teacher calls their vocabulary again, they sit back down. Once the timer goes off, students who are sitting down win one point. Students then change their cards, and start the next round.
Notes
In later rounds, half the class could start standing up while the other half starts sitting down to make the results more unpredictable.
