Two Lines
The class forms two lines in front of the instructor, who pulls a card from the pack and says the word. The first of the two students at the front of the lines to correctly provide a synonym gets the card. The line with the most cards is the winner.
Groups at the Board: Synonyms
Your class will split into two or more groups. Each group of students forms a line at the board. The instructor says a word. The first student in each group writes synonyms for the word on the board. The student who writes the most correct synonyms scores a point for his or her team. The instructor says a second word. The next student in line writes synonyms for the second word, and so on. Students in the same group may help each other. The group with the highest score is the winner.
Groups at the Board: Answers to Questions
Divide into small groups. Each group of students forms a line at the board. The instructor reads a discussion question. The first student in each group writes an answer to the question. Group members may help each other. The group who writes the first correct answer scores a point. The instructor reads a second question. The second student in each group writes an answer to the question, and so on. The group with the highest score is the winner.
