4. Back to the Board (Vocabulary Review)

[@drew6194]

I've done this with as many as four teams. It gets pretty wild and energetic. It also helps to have a TD to help monitor to see who gets the point. I also get the kids out of their chairs and gathered around their seated team member.

[@sradefarras]

You do this in Spain, the classroom explodes with noise and boisterous laughter. Great game!

[@ilf1992]

It is really interesting how students are playing with the game. Students are working on as a team and the two students are giving the answers. It is a good experimental for the social skills too.

[@NewArchipelago]

They're so well-behaved compared to some kids I've seen.

[@renewpaige2547]

NewArchipelago i think this is scripted that's why.

[@kevtherev8194]

@@renewpaige2547 thats why they were CHOSEN for this video.

[@jojohunt1412]

Because it’s in another country that’s how students behave. I’ve seen it a 1,000 times

[@estheraguirre1475]

yes, i say the same

[@daNox4]

Nice game, I will start my social service in a volunteers program in Mexico. I have been learning about teaching. thank you for this icebreakers video.(I am studying to be industrial engineering and quality controls).

[@ВалентинаКушляк]

A very interesting game! As soon as the holidays are over, I'll try it with my students.

[@SumangeAlimAkkas]

Best of luck!

@@SumangeAlimAkkas if you know better come and teach them

[@happyplace11]

I have been there also

[@anwarsalim8925]

Hahahahaa

[@ie9rws]

In the reality, they will tell the two students sitting in front of the answer in their native language. Thus, she keeps saying "No cheating" though.

[@fwwryh7862]

If they speak a single word that isn't English minus a point. That should work.

[@qentrepreneurship9987]

What dynamic school teacher👏

[@aileenfowler3967]

I think this game gives me a bright idea for my assignment.

[@tarsemsharma9711]

very effective method for learning vocabulary well played kids😊😊

[@rjerry7218]

There might be one problem: the low-level kids cannot give the clues while the other kids can. One of the solutions can be: give each ss a piece of copy with the words and easy explanation on so that each kid, even the low-level kids, can give the right explanation and can also help them to practice memorizing the meaning of each word.

[@michelledonnatienministries]

This is really fun. I’m looking for ways to adapt it to the online one on one classroom. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@drew6194]

I've done this online. It still works.

[@elimame]

great job will done 👍👍👍

[@icanghana6477]

A very powerful activity to help students remember keywords.

[@eviwulandhari5293]

Is it competency based learning teaching method?

[@MikesHomeESL]

Great job! It's an old ESL game practice ! Very good game for 10 years kids or more or even younger depending on their skill level! I play it in a different way! I ll show you very soon! Keep up the good work! Subscribed and liked! Peace&Love

[@BrentStrathdeePehi]

Is the group explaining the word allowed to do actions or only verbal?

[@Leotique]

actually only verbal, but kids can't control themselves/their body language during the game which is okey because they are kids :)

[@rivamarbun9407]

Would you like send me the soft copy of your program ? I want to do this in my country. Please

[@nourabarakat4233]

In our school its called vocab game with one person only

[@mariafernandamayorga2330]

Hello. I am an English teacher. I work in a public primary school in Ecuador ( I am Ecuadorian). I need help because my students are too unruly. I work with 2nd and 3rd grade . There are about 30 students in each class. There are no resources in the school. The book we use is not good. What activities and strategies can I use? . I have used activities I have found on the internet. I use songs. But it is not enough. My students need more activities that engage them in the classroom. Please. Would you be so kind to help me with some advice and ideas. Thank you in advance

[@DombaBerbulu]

Wow, what are their native language? They seem very proficient in English for their age. Smart girls and an amazing teacher!

[@sugarcube40degree]

Cantonese

[@SugoiEnglish1]

Very good. However, due to 4-5 students on each team, it is better to make more teams so each student has a partner and is speaking i.e. providing clues.

[@valeriasouza6051]

VERY NICE !!!!!

[@sarierna4130]

Thank you, that's so funny way to learn English

[@vicinityvibe]

[@capleminhthuy1486]

only girls. imagine there're tons of naughty boys, they say exactly the word as they see on the board 😂

[@gracendomba7663]

No way

[@loverabbitt]

That's what's happened when I tried this game.😭 You have to take points away if they say the word.

[@tcheryacine1924]

It is still very interesting

[@Clausita26preciosa]

why are they using American names?... I bet they just have beautiful Chinese names... can't they keep them?... btw I love this activity, excellent video :D

[@minaryu8640]

only if people pronounce it properly..😂 I once tried to keep my Asian name and no one could say that properly.. also they found it hard to remember.. so I had to change my name into more simple version ... it wasn't european name though...

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

all the English speaking teachers give English names to their asian students.

[@Reciclador817]

It would be a fantastic and respectful idea to keep their beautiful original names, no matter how difficult to remember or pronounce are them. It is difficult for them pronounce occidental names as well.

[@rasleyrockson2128]

Maybe because they are from Hong Kong? (I'm not 100% sure but their accents are very Hongkongish) In Hong Kong, most of us have an English name, mostly given by our parents. We often call our classmates, friends and colleagues, especially the ones we're not very close with, by their English name, but not their Chinese one. Therefore, it's perfectly normal that the people around you every day do not know your "true name".
