I use the " Memory card" game. They have to say the word to get points!!!

I teach 8-11 year olds. I use flashcards first for new vocabulary but also write on the board, so the new vocabulary is in sight throughout the lesson. Then I play lots of different games using the new vocabulary, if they get stuck I point to the board as a clue but they still have to find the right word to get a point.

At the next lesson I check that they have remembered the vocabulary from the last lesson, if they haven't more work to be done.

Many thanks !
Can you show the teaching procedures in details or give me some examples. I've tried some games but SS can just read, they couldn't spell well. How do you solve the word spelling problem?

l. How do you solve the word spelling problem?

Apart from getting them write the words. I can't see anything to solve the word spelling problem.
Does anyone have an idea?

Sorry I don't know how to answer that question either. There are spelling games you can play, like race to the board, but it means they would just have to copy the vocabulary you wrote on the board earlier.

I think someone will be able to advise you. I would think there needs to be some form of repetition for them to be able to recall and spell.
