 Re: The SLAM Game (OR my favorite game ever!!!)
I tried this game last week in my middle school classes (all boys). We didn't have enough room to make the semi-circle so I just had them line up and placed all the flash cards (prepositions) on the desk at the front (it's a podium type thing the teachers stand behind and is large).
I put the cards face up on the the front desk. The students were not allowed to turn them over (some had tried that) to read the back and find out if they had the right card. I gave a point to the first one to slam the correct card. We did the rock paper scissors thing if they hit the correct card at the same time.
The boys really enjoyed this game - especially when their friends were trying to get them to hit the wrong card or get the person on the other team to hit the wrong card. I think I will be using this game again in the future with other topics! |
