This is a fun & energizing activity for teaching vocabulary.
Instructions:
- Get some "Post-It's"
- Write vocabulary words (two of each) from your lessons on them or have your students write them
- Place one set on the back left side and one on the back right side of the room
- Draw a picture of or simply write a matching word on the board
- Divide your class into two teams
- Have one student from each team come to the back of the room
- Say "Go"
- Students race to match the Post It's to the images or words on the board
- Give a point to the first team to do so correctly
- Continue
After two students have matched all the words you can have the students repeat the vocabulary words together. Then pick two new students from each team to come take a turn.
