• Stare
Have two students stand, facing one another. Mount the vocabu lary
illustra tions on the chalkboard and number them. The object of the
activity is for the two students to look at each other without laughing.
The first student to laugh must then identify a vocabulary illustration
by a number from the chalkboard. If both students laugh,
then both stu dents must identify a vocabulary illustration or illustrations
for the numbers you say from the chalkboard. Re peat with
other pairs of students.
• Right or Wrong
Basic Speaking
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard. Point to one
of the illustra tions and say its vocabulary word. The students
should repeat the vocabu lary word for that illustration. However,
when you point to an illustration and say an incorrect vocabulary
word for it, the students should remain silent. Repeat this process
until the stu dents have re sponded a number of times to the dif ferent
vocabulary illustrations.
• Under the Bridge
Have two students stand facing one another with hands clasped.
The two students should raise their hands above their heads to
resemble the arch of a bridge. Have the remaining students line up
in a straight line. The students should file "under the bridge" in single
file. When you clap your hands, the two students should lower
their hands, trapping one of the students "on the bridge." The student
who is trapped should then identify a vocabulary illus tration
you show him/her. Repeat.
• Centered Speaker
Group the students into two teams of equal numbers. The two
teams should stand, facing one another, about ten feet apart. There
should be one student standing between the two teams as IT for
the first round of the activity. Give each player in Team One a number.
Then, give each player in Team Two a number. The numbers
you give the players should be "scattered" so that, for ex ample,
number One in each team is not di rectly opposite one an other. Call
a number. The two players from the teams who have that number
must then exchange places as quickly as possible. However, IT
must attempt to reach one of the vacated posi tions before the other
player arrives. The player who is "stuck in the middle" must then
identify a vocabu lary illustration you show him/her. To add spice to
this activity, when you call a number, all students in each team may
pretend to run. In this way, IT will not be as certain as to which players
are exchanging places. Repeat.
