Quote avari20  One idea that works with my students is the Last Letter Game. I'm sure just about everyone has used this, but on the off chance that you haven't, I thought I would suggest it. You start by naming a word. Student 1 has to think of a word that begins with the last letter of the word you said. They have a five second time limit. Once they've named the new word, the next student takes the last letter of Student 1's word and suggests his own word...So on and so forth. The game usually goes very fast, and it can get some laughs if someone throws out a really unusual word they know. It's great for review and as a listening exercise. |
This is working well in my class at the moment but I use a kitchen timer (a cute novelty one) that you have to pass as you say the words. Everyone is standing up if the timer goes before you can say your word you have to sit down. It enourages some quick thinking!
