Check out my favorite dry erase markers here — I got them for half the price of my expos. I do a mix of both. The cheaper price is good for getting a full class set, while the expos are great for writing quality. If you have a large class, I would get the quantity option. The more ridiculous your statement, like a sandwich with mustard and dirt, the more fun it is.
I am a huge fan of manipulatives in like the middle school and high school level. Brilliant, thank you BVP, thank you. Another great idea that works well with this whole idea too is actually something of my own invention which is activity number five, this is called storyboarding.
Another really fun activity that I have for you is scintillating. Two Truths and a Lie. But Two Truths and a Lie works beautifully in a classroom because it gets students so into the idea of creating comprehensible language, interpreting comprehensible language and reacting to it. You can ask them to write whatever they want to, you can make it a total free write.
I know, I have an idea. One of your sentences has to be about your age, let me show you an example. Two sentences are true, one is a lie. You have to guess and go around the room about which of your friends, which of their sentences is a lie.
If you guess which of their sentences is a lie,you to take something from them. So you can use whatever you want like I had points. And I represented that with like big sticky note pads because I have a million of those.
You can use tickets, you can use pens, like whatever, pencils whatever you want to use you can just tally marks on the board. But, or you can have people like write on their papers, you know, sometimes people cheat with that.
Whatever system you want to use, whoever guesses the most lies wins. And so the beauty of this is that students have to write something that other people can read, so it has to be pretty correct. It also has to be something that other people understand. And they get so into it. This is an old tactic that I used to use when I had to do icebreakers as an orientation intern in college, but this is really fun. And for Blob, what you do is you give them a category and then they have to separate themselves into groups.
Now your students have to all look at each other and declare their blobs. They need to come together and form a blob. You can do this with anything. You can do this with any kind of categories. This one is an absolute game changer. Special Person Interviews is something that Bryce Hedstrom taught me. Parts of the body. How are you? Mi Casa. My House. Cosas del Colegio. School supplies. El tiempo. Day of the dead. La primavera. Las Estaciones. Clean up routine. Las frutas. Daily routines. Medios de transporte.
Means of transportation. Days of the week. Physical Descriptions. The winner is then awarded a point. The game continues until one team scores the winning number of points determined by you or your students. This Bingo is a tried and true game that makes practicing new vocabulary engaging and interactive for students.
To play, print out blank or prepared Bingo grids for each of your students. If the cards are blank, have the students fill in each blank on their grid with a different vocabulary word.
Afterwards, call out each of the vocabulary words. For a free bingo card generator, check out print-bingo. You can do any category you like: foods, animals, colors, etc. You can then pick students one by one or ask for a volunteer to come up to the front and select a card.
Instruct the student to show the card to the rest of the class without looking at it him or herself. Well, this game is useful for just those instances! At the start of class, divide your students into pairs or groups of up to four.
Next, write a broad or specific topic on the board. For example, comida or, more specifically, frutas rojas. How broad the topic is will depend on how much vocabulary your students have learned and on how difficult you want the game to be. Once all students have read the category, have all of the students in the group except one turn away from the board.
Next, write some vocabulary words specific to the category on the board. For the frutas rojas example, you could write manzana, fresa, tomato and frambuesa. The one student per group who can see the board must then describe the vocabulary words without actually saying them.
This will force them to venture out of their vocabulary comfort zones and get creative with adjectives! All set for vocabulary games now? Tic-tac-toe, three in a row!
