Many of the tasks and activities teachers already use for class need only to be adapted slightly for the lesson to be more active and make a lasting impression on students.\u003Cbr>In this week’s Teacher’s Corner, we will learn about a vocabulary activity turned into a race. During each round, students will step up to answer a question while their team members help with finding the correct answer. The first team to come up with the correct answer earns a point. The competitive nature of this race encourages students to work together quickly to find answers, and the excitement of the movement around the classroom motivates students to participate. It’s a fun and easy activity to use for teaching new material or reviewing previous material.\u003Cbr>LEVEL |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Beginning and above | LANGUAGE FOCUS |\n| Listening Vocabulary | GOALS |\n| During this activity, students will be able to:\u003Cbr>● Identify target vocabulary words by definitions\u003Cbr>● Cooperate with classmates to find correct answers\u003Cbr>MATERIALS |  |\n\n● List of vocabulary words and matching definitions  \n[americanenglish.state.gov](americanenglish.state.gov)  \n● Enough chalk or markers for students to write on the board  \nPREPARATION  \n● Divide students into groups of six  \nPROCEDURE  \n1. Tell students that in this activity they are going to work in teams to identify vocabulary words. The activity is a game where students will race against other teams to answer questions and score points. Every team member will participate in identifying new words while teammates offer help to earn points.  \n2. Place students into their groups, and warm up the teams with some practice.  \na. Direct the teams to separate parts of the room so that each team has some space.  \nb. Explain that they will practice within their teams before starting the game.  \nc. Tell students that they will hear a definition of a word, and as a group they must identify the matching vocabulary word. Students can work with team members to discuss the definition to choose the correct word as a team.  \ni For example, the teacher gives the definition: “A person who takes orders in a restaurant while you are seated at a table.” Students will then work together to come up with the word server.  \nd. The groups have 30-60 seconds to come up with the answer.  \ne. Practice this process a few times with several different vocabulary words.  \n3. Gather the students’ attention, and review the rules of the game.  \na. Tell students that each team will stand in a group and will choose one teammate to be ready to run to the board.  \n[americanenglish.state.gov](americanenglish.state.gov)  \nb. The teacher will give a definition, and the teammate who has been selected must work with the group to identify the correct word and then race to the board to write the answer correctly.  \nc. The first team to identify the word and correctly write it on the board will earn a point.  \nd. Only the teammate chosen to go to the board for the round can write on the board. The other teammates must remain with the group but can talk to and shout out help to their teammate at the board.  \ne. The next round is conducted in the same way, but a new teammate is chosen to go to the board. Each teammate must have a turn before a student can have a second turn to run up to the board.  \nf. The game ends either when the teacher runs out of words or when a team reaches a certain number of points and wins.  \nVARIATIONS  \nThere are a number of ways to adapt this activity to meet your classroom’s needs. First, this activity can be used for students to practice or review grammar or even sentences. Second, you can choose how big or small the teams should be to fit the space of your classroom.  \nOne variation is to conduct the game between two teams at lightning speed with a five-mi","cbCairXASNIks9J3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairXASNIks9J3","pdf",81800,"English","# Vocabulary Race\n## Level and Language Focus\n## Goals\n## Materials and Preparation\n## Procedure\n## Variations","[{\"question\":\"How do students earn points in Vocabulary Race?\",\"answer\":\"The teacher gives a definition, and the team must identify the matching vocabulary word.
