Flashcard Games
- Backs to the Board Game
Make two teams and stand one S from each team in front of the board, facing away from it. Place a flashcard picture on the board (e.g. "sunny") and the Ss have to act out that word to their team member (shielding eyes, sun-tanning). The first S out of the two standing in front of the board to guess the word wins a point for his/her team. - Touch Game
Hand out a set of flashcards to students in groups of 6 to play touch game. Teacher calls out a letter, and a student takes it. The goal is to collect as many cards as possible. - Bean Bag Toss
Lay out flashcards face down up the floor. Ss toss the bean bag and identify the flashcard it lands on. - Catch me if you can
Have students sit in a circle. After reviewing the chosen set of flashcards, place them in a pile in the center of the circle. Take the first card and show it to everybody. Have one student walk around the outside of the circle saying words from the specific subject – like fruits or days - while touching each student's of the circle on the head. When the "magic" word is said, the student whose head is touched at that time, must stand up and chase the student who touched them around the circle. The first one to sit in that spot remains seated and chooses the next "magic" word. The student standing begins again; "Sunday...Monday…"
