Many children also excel when allowed to compete. The teacher is the best judge as to whether or not these games are suitable for her classroom, but it is our experience that children shine when presented with these learning opportunities. We know of schools that have students on waiting lists because “TLP Jeopardy!” is a part of their curriculum. The following is a list of games that have worked successfully in classrooms, co-ops, and individual homeschools.  \nNote: Flashcard games usually require sets of spelling flashcards and vocabulary flashcards. Students are directed to make spelling flashcards during the Spelling A activity; however, they are not directed to make vocabulary flashcards. Some teachers substitute the Vocabulary C activity (the Glossary) with making vocabulary flashcards. Simply have students write the synonyms on flashcards. They should not include the vocabulary word, only the synonym. It works best if the vocabulary flashcards are a different color from the spelling flashcards.  \nI. Flashcard Relay I (at least two teams, no more than eight to a team)  \nRequirements: Each team needs a set of spelling flashcards, vocabulary flashcards, basket or container and two tables; room to move.  \nGoal: Correctly match the most cards.  \nSet up: Place the tables or desks at both ends of the playing area, one set for each team. Put a set of spelling flashcards on each desk at one end. On the desks atthe opposite end, put a set of vocabulary flashcards, paperclips, and basket (one for each team) .  \nHow to Play: Divide into teams. Team members line up by their desk with the spelling flashcards. When directed to “Go!” one person from each team takes a spelling flashcard, races to his or her team’s desk with the vocabulary flashcards, and paperclips the corresponding cards together: Each spelling flashcard should have only one vocabulary flashcard that will match it. The paper-clipped flashcards are then placed in the team’s basket or container. The next person from a team may go when the first person returns back to the original desk and touches it.  \nWinning: The first team to match all the cards stops the game. Matches from the basket are then checked for accuracy and the team with the most correct matches wins.  \nII. Flashcard Relay II (at least two teams, no more than eight to a team)  \nRequirements: One set of spelling flashcards; two sets of vocabulary flashcards; two tables; room to move; paperclips and a basket or container for each team.  \nGoal: Correctly match the most cards.  \nSet up: Place two tables opposite from each other with as much space between as room will allow. Put one set of spelling flashcards on one table and both sets of vocabulary flashcards on the opposite table. Place paperclips and basket with the vocabulary flashcards.  \nHow to Play: Divide into teams. Teams line up an equal distance from the spelling flashcard table. When directed to “Go!” a member from each team races to the  \nspelling flashcard table, takes one spelling word with him, races to the vocabulary table, matches the spelling word with the synonym, and drops the match in his team’s basket. As soon as he makes it back to his team, the next person may go. This game varies from Flashcard Relay I, in that the teams work from the same set of spelling words. Two sets of synonyms are necessary in case of matching errors.  \nWinning: The game is over when all the cards have been matched. The team with the most correct matches wins.  \nIII. Flashcard Bingo (individual)  \nRequirements: Set of 25 spelling flashcards per students, list of 60 synonyms, 25 markers for each student,(markers may be buttons, pennies, paperclips, etc.), prize.  \nGoal: Be the first to mark five words in a row. As in Bingo, the words may be down, across or diagonal.  \nSet up: Students place their 25 spelling flashcards on their desks in rows and columns of five.  \nHow to Play: A student or teacher says ","cbCaidAnsgAVGz1j","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidAnsgAVGz1j","pdf",27602,"English","# Flashcard Relay Games\n## Flashcard Relay I\n## Flashcard Relay II\n# Flashcard Word Games\n## Flashcard Bingo (individual)\n## Flashcard Tic-Tac-Toe","[{\"question\":\"How should teachers prepare the flashcards for these optional games?\",\"answer\":\"Students make spelling flashcards during the Spelling activity.
