Writing race

The objective of this activity is to practise spelling and memory. It can be done individually or in groups.

Stick four pieces of paper with the written form of the vocabulary or with the structures of the lesson, well spaced around the classroom. The students go to the words and mentally retain the spelling of the first word or sentence. They return to their seat and write out the word or sentence from memory. They continue until they have written down all the words.

Group version:

Divide the class into small groups. One of the students of each group will be the 'runner', who will go to the piece of paper, read and retain the spelling of the first word or sentence, will return to his or her seat and tell the word or sentence to his/her mates for them to write it down. The role of the 'runner' must change among the members of the group, as the objective of the activity is for all the students to practise spelling and memory.
