You can even give them two different messages. Have students pair up and have one student read a passage from a book. This can be any book they have handy. The other student must write everything down. How long you want the piece to be will depend on the language level of the students. At the end of the reading, have the students switch roles. The group with the fastest dictation wins.
You can use a flyswatter for this game, or just have students hit the word with their hand. Write down words on the white board. Alternatively, you can use flashcards and hang them on the wall. Divide the students into two teams and have them line up. Say a word nicely and clearly.
The first two students run up to the board and swat the correct word. The first one to hit it earns a point for his team.
Each person only gets one swat, then they have to go to the back of the line. If they get the word wrong, the next person in line can move up to swat the correct one. Assign each student one of three or four fruits that you write on the board. These can be anything from apples and oranges to pineapple, papaya or watermelon. Have everyone set up their chairs in a circle or a line and call out a fruit. Keep calling out fruit and having the students switch spots.
This is when you sit down in a chair. Everyone else will sit and one student is left standing. That student then has to call out the fruit names to mix everyone up. Have a student come up to the board. You can divide the class into two groups, if desired, and have two students at the board. As students call out answers, the one at the board must draw the monster being described, to the best of their ability.
This can get pretty rowdy, so you may want people to take turns calling out features. Alternatively, have the students draw on paper and they can keep their creations or hang them in the classroom.
Repeat with other students as many times as is necessary to fill the time. This very simple game can be played absolutely anywhere. Give your students a theme, like cities, food, or jobs. Then begin to call out words.
