The vocal level of these kids is really high. So is their level of enthusiasm. That would have been a great class to teach!

I taught English in Vietnam and this kind of game is a hoot. It's amazing how into it they are.

These Asian students are very quiet, while in Brazil every single game that we do the competition is sooo loud, everyone screams in the end of the game, we smile and it's so fun, It's cool the contrast of differents cultures. I'm going to do this game with my class today and I'll give the feedback later. hehe

Thanks a million. The teaching is very exciting!

I just let my 37 students play this game this morning and it was great. Thank you for sharing :-)

This is a good idea to write down the list on the board when there is a topic. It really helps to understand and bring more ideas. The good way is that we could memorize better when we write on the board somehow like notes.

I called this shiritori, I use to do it with free words, and even my big teenagers enjoy it, it's ideal for people at all ages, I use to do a sentence competition that they enjoy a lot

It's great to see how well_behaved students they are despite the excitment .my students get sooooo excited and competitive ...maybe becayse in Algeria , stdts are not used to such strategy of teaching...it gets tiresome sometimes but the outcome is worth it . Thanks for sharing 😊👍

This activity has more potential than the video shows. The only flaw here is that there are too many students waiting. I would go for smaller team sizes and more teams. But seeing the size of the classroom maybe the teacher is limited by the teaching environment. Great video. Thanks.

Ahh, I remember playing this game in a popular English course/tutoring when when I was 5th grade. The class was a blast, very interactive, but pricey as well. We didn't get to learn grammar as much as in my public school, but everyone seemed to fully understood the lessons, including me. I guess with price comes quality, but it's totally worth it.

Great video and very easy to follow! I play a variation of this where students have to say the words and if a student repeats a word that's already been said they are out. Cheers!

Lovely!! Specially when you have this little group of well-behaved students hahahha, yeah I will try it with mine. Greetings from Peru.

I love these games. Such classics

Oh my god. I guess everything that easy - is genius as well. Thanks for sharing this great game.

A very powerful activity. I tried it and worked out well. thumps up!

I tried this in my class last morning... It's really fun

THIS IS GREAT!!!!

Great madam Good teaching

terrific game ^^ thanks for sharing

Great, i loved this method

Great idea! thank you

GOOD ONE I MYSELF DO THE SAME GAME BUT AS A WARM UP TO GET STS MOTIVATED IN SOME SESSIONS. LOVE FROM JAMAL MOROCCO

this approach can be elaborated to meet higher level of learning

Great game. Thank you. A variation could be, if you have a chalk board, to let the teams write behind two different sides of the board so they can't peek what the other team has written...

fantastic idea ! well educated Sast and South Asian kids, great English teacher too ! Love the editing and filming, very clearly structured.

It's awesome gonna try it

great game, Thanks for sharing.

wooh...thsi is really a killing the time game.....

Nice ideas. Thanks for sharing some.

thank you for all your videos. They are really helpful for me. I wish to have more of yours.

Great!

Amazing ...I am gonna do like this

thanks I love it I will use it tomorrow :D

Nice I apply it in my class thanks for your effort

Very good game for students. it is very good for team building. Thank You So Much .

Thank you very much for sharing this activity!😊

thank's a lot

Thank you for your sharing. Now I am teaching English in Czech Republic. I am not a native speaker. So sometimes I got some difficulties of making class activities. Czech students are very shy. I just don' t know how to motivate them.

Competition in this case is cracking good !!

Thanks so much, i liked it and would really try this wih my class.

Interesting game...I am planning to use it in my lesson

I like this very much. Ms Katie, could you just post your video about strategy of english learning? Because I can can catch what you said without the subtitle (;

thanks for sharing

Great Game. But i want to know what is disadvantages of this game? Thankyou🙏

Great ! ❤👌

Super game!!!!!

Whenever I try to do some activities to my students the classroom turns to a black Friday Arena.

Amazing idea!! You're so smart and pretty! Now I have a great game for my guys! :) blessings from Colombia

I really like the game! I have a question. How do you go about "cheating" the same words from the other team? What is the rule for it?

As in Galip Akbulut's comment on each team seeing each others words, I suggest doing some kind of partitioning on the whiteboard, perhaps a cardboard cut out partitioning? Or each team given an A4 paper and write the words down, then other team can't see. Each team lines up in front of A4 paper but far apart from each team, don't use whiteboard.

It's very interesting board game great job

I liked this activity very much but.. what if other groups' students see and copy another groups' words when they are waiting their turn ?

Thank A lot

Doesn't one team copy words from the other team?

Great game 👍

waww superrrrrr ,love it

Great! how would you do it with 25 students?!

3:48 they are all REALLY happy! (exaggerated).

It works if the students are as well behaved and sensible as these children are.....In most of my classes a large proportion of my students refuse to get out of their seats...so I usually have to choose two students from each team who then battle it out - with input from the ones that do not want to move from their seats.....(or are too lazy or disruptive)

What a great game!

Love it

روووعه wonderful video

thank you

I like it . Thank you

If they write it on a piece of paper, will it be better?

great game I will do this with my six students

Funny was the celebration part! The Chinese girls didn't raise a finger HAHAHA....

which grade are they?

How could we play this game with grammar this u played i think with reading

can you recommend me some books about this kind of game? thank you...

But I think the words should be arranged or numbered for easy counting and identification.

This is good game

Exuse me please hwo can teach my grils she is in primary school in claas four

Really interesting

Can they write same words

great

aha,The winners are so calm.

lovely

Are they Chinese or Singaporean or Filipinos?

Great idea!!! I am not sure it would work where I live because the kids do not ever stay in line and when they are just standing up, they hit each other :(

😍

HK students' English is much better than China mainland students' if they are from public school.

Super

Esta actividad lo hago en mis clases .. es mas, es una de las actividades favoritas de mis alumnos. Pero cada vez que veo a las alumnitas del vídeo me sorprendo mucho porque lo hacen en un silencio y orden que no puedo creerlo. Aquí en mis clases los alumnos se vuelven locos literalmente, gritan, corren, se gritan entre ellos, se corrigen entre ellos.... y cuando ganan ... lo celebran de una manera.... y si pierden se miran entre si y se echan la culpa y demás... mis alumnos son un caso, por mas que les diga las normas del juego, no pueden controlar sus emociones.... algún consejo?

It's really genius. But how can I do it with a classroom of 34 students?!

Good

I used to teach like this but i used verbs.

Should write on the paper -

It is good . But student's from team A who are at the back wil copy the other team's words .

The game must not be competence ...just a game ...all it is nice .

Why they wer'nt happy for being the winner 😂 strange student but cute and clever...

XBOX 360 ?)

I'm looking from Cambodia I would like video games

hey lass,the camera is over here.

At all time i shout at the teacher to look at the camera..

It seems like students didn't involve with the teacher's actions; You should have students from each group count their vocabularies.

Great!

Great!
