it and to tell you how it is used.

Theme: Recreation
Basic Listening
Make two "roads" on the floor using masking
tape. Be certain that there are a number of
curves and circles in the roads. The roads
should stretch for at least ten feet. If you have
a floor rug, chalk may be used to fashion the
roads. Place a toy car at the beginning of each
road. Lay the vocabulary illustrations at the
end of the roads. Have a student sit beside
each car. Name one of the vocabulary illustrations
and say"Go." The two students should
"drive" their cars along the roads as quickly as
they can. The winner is the player who first
parks his car on the illustration for the vocabulary
word you said.
