Present with PPt or flashcards
Each student has a set of small flash cards
Listen and Show: call out the TL. Ss find card and show it to you.
Then using one set of f/cards, ss play in pairs the Slap game: Teacher calls out word/phrase- ss race to slap corresponding f/card
Then Flyswat checking game: Put larger f/cards on board. 2 ss have flyswat each. Backs to the board. Teacher calls out TL. Ss race to swat the corresponding f/card.
Then Flashcard Forceback game: Push desks and chairs to side and put several f/cards in a horseshoe shape on floor. 2 teams. One at each end of the shoe. On Go! 1 member from each team works their way round flashcards saying the TL on each card until they meet their opponent somewhere on the shoe. Rock Paper Scissors. Winner continues. Loser goes to back of their line and new opponent starts...
1 point for getting to the opposition's end...
Or, find a bomb game with TL...
