I put recently taught vocabulary on the board ( 10 - 12 words ). I then place two students 2-3 metres away from the board. I say the word. First student to swat the word, gets the point. I then give an extra point if they can use the word in a sentence. This is a great game and the students always get excited.

[@Teacher-Val]

Thank you, Gary! Great idea! Yes, it is better to place the students at a distance from the board. Unfortunately, I don't have enough room to do it in my classroom.

@@Joker-zl9ng No, I don't think I do. I am scared. Lol. I am sure it will pay off in the future. What you are doing now is called "wise investment". :)

i'm going to teach french to some beginner students (tennagers) in China too. I think the first game could be great ! But not sure for the second, they might be too old for it (?). Thanks for these ideas Teacher Val.

[@Teacher-Val]

Hi Christophe! Yes, the first variation is definitely better for this age group.

[@beluumu]
