This game will really activate your students' brains as they'll need to recall previously learnt words from memory.

The vocal level of these kids is really high. So is their level of enthusiasm. That would have been a great class to teach!

This is a good idea to write down the list on the board when there is a topic. It really helps to understand and bring more ideas. The good way is that we could memorize better when we write on the board somehow like notes.

Lovely!! Specially when you have this little group of well-behaved students hahahha, yeah I will try it with mine. Greetings from Peru.

These Asian students are very quiet, while in Brazil every single game that we do the competition is sooo loud, everyone screams in the end of the game, we smile and it's so fun, It's cool the contrast of differents cultures. I'm going to do this game with my class today and I'll give the feedback later. hehe

I called this shiritori, I use to do it with free words, and even my big teenagers enjoy it, it's ideal for people at all ages, I use to do a sentence competition that they enjoy a lot

It's great to see how well_behaved students they are despite the excitment .my students get sooooo excited and competitive ...maybe becayse in Algeria , stdts are not used to such strategy of teaching...it gets tiresome sometimes but the outcome is worth it . Thanks for sharing 😊👍

Great video and very easy to follow! I play a variation of this where students have to say the words and if a student repeats a word that's already been said they are out. Cheers!

Ahh, I remember playing this game in a popular English course/tutoring when when I was 5th grade. The class was a blast, very interactive, but pricey as well. We didn't get to learn grammar as much as in my public school, but everyone seemed to fully understood the lessons, including me. I guess with price comes quality, but it's totally worth it.

Thanks a million. The teaching is very exciting!
-
A very powerful activity. I tried it and worked out well. thumps up!

I taught English in Vietnam and this kind of game is a hoot. It's amazing how into it they are.
-
I just let my 37 students play this game this morning and it was great. Thank you for sharing :-)
-
Oh my god. I guess everything that easy - is genius as well. Thanks for sharing this great game.

This activity has more potential than the video shows. The only flaw here is that there are too many students waiting. I would go for smaller team sizes and more teams. But seeing the size of the classroom maybe the teacher is limited by the teaching environment. Great video. Thanks.

I love these games. Such classics
-
fantastic idea ! well educated Sast and South Asian kids, great English teacher too ! Love the editing and filming, very clearly structured.
-
I tried this in my class last morning... It's really fun
-
terrific game ^^ thanks for sharing
-
Great game. Thank you. A variation could be, if you have a chalk board, to let the teams write behind two different sides of the board so they can't peek what the other team has written...

Thank you for your sharing. Now I am teaching English in Czech Republic. I am not a native speaker. So sometimes I got some difficulties of making class activities. Czech students are very shy. I just don' t know how to motivate them.
