Basic Listening<br />
• Nod and Clap<br />
• Nod and Clap<br />
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard. Point to one<br />
of the illustra tions and say its name. The students should nod their<br />
heads to indicate that you said the correct vocabulary word for the<br />
illustration. However, when you point to an illustration and say an<br />
incorrect name for it, the students should clap their hands ONCE.<br />
Repeat this process until all of the vocabulary illustrations have<br />
been used a number of times in this way.<br />
• Wild Cars<br />
Make two "roads" on the floor using masking tape. Be certain that<br />
there are a number of curves and circles in the roads. The roads<br />
should stretch for at least ten feet. If you have a floor rug, chalk may<br />
be used to fashion the roads. Place a toy car at the beginning of<br />
each road. Lay the vocabulary illustrations at the end of the roads.<br />
Have a student sit beside each car. Name one of the vocabulary<br />
illustrations and say "Go." The two students should "drive" their<br />
cars along the roads as quickly as they can. The winner is the player<br />
who first parks his car on the illustration for the vocabulary word<br />
you said.<br />
•Flashlight Find<br />
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard. Point to one<br />
of the illustra tions and say its name. The students should nod their<br />
heads to indicate that you said the correct vocabulary word for the<br />
illustration. However, when you point to an illustration and say an<br />
incorrect name for it, the students should clap their hands ONCE.<br />
Repeat this process until all of the vocabulary illustrations have<br />
been used a number of times in this way.<br />
•Flashlight Find<br />
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the walls, chalkboard, win -<br />
dows, etc. Have a student stand in the center of the classroom with<br />
a flashlight. Say one of the vocabulary words and the student must<br />
find the illustration for the vo cabulary word you said using the light<br />
of the flashlight. This activity may also be conducted in team form.<br />
In this case, have two flashlights available. Have a player from<br />
each team stand in the center of the classroom. When you say the<br />
vocabulary word, each player must attempt to find the correct<br />
illustra tion with the light of his/her flashlight.<br />
Basic Speaking<br />

of the flashlight. This activity may also be conducted in team form.<br />
In this case, have two flashlights available. Have a player from<br />
each team stand in the center of the classroom. When you say the<br />

illustra tion with the light of his/her flashlight.<br />
• Turn and Face<br />
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the walls and chalkboard.<br />
Group the stu dents together in the center of the classroom. Say<br />
one of the vo cabulary words and the students should turn to face<br />
the illustration for the word you said. Depending upon the size of<br />
your class, this ac tivity may be done in small groups. This activity<br />
may also be done in team form. In this case, have a player from<br />
each team stand in the center of the classroom. When a player<br />
faces the wrong di rection (i.e., the wrong il lustration), he/she is<br />
"out" until a later round of the ac tivity. Repeat until all players have<br />
had an opportunity to participate.<br />
• Balloon Volleyball<br />
Group the students into two teams. The two teams should stand,<br />
facing one another. Toss a round, inflated balloon to the members<br />
of Team One. The members of Team One must then bounce the<br />
balloon to the members of Team Two. The players should con tinue<br />
to bounce the bal loon back and forth in this way until a team loses<br />
the balloon. You may wish to establish the rule that players may not<br />
move their feet during the activity. When a team loses the balloon,<br />
show them a vocabulary il lustration and all team members in that<br />
team must say the vocabulary word for it. Repeat until players in<br />
both teams have re sponded a number of times.<br />
• The Disappearing Illustrations<br />
Mount five or six illustrations on the chalkboard, vertically. Point to<br />
the il lustration at the top and the students should name it. Con tinue<br />
in this way until the students have named all of the illustra tions from<br />
top to bottom. Then, remove the last illustra tion and re peat this<br />
process - the students should say all of the vocabulary words,<br />
including the name for the "missing" illustra tion. Continue, until all<br />
illustrations have been removed in this way.<br />
