The play continues to the left, with each player adding his or her top card to the stack on the table as quickly as possible. Four to six players are needed. The word cards are placed face up on the desk. The student who recognizes the word must slap it. Correct choice earns the card, and the player with the most cards wins.
Students stand beside their desks-each row comprises a team.
The first player receives a piece of chalk. When the teacher calls out a word, the students must run to the board and write it. The team with the most words correctly spelled wins. Alternatively, the teacher can give a synonym, antonym, etc. to convey the meaning of the word, and the students discuss the meaning before the representative runs to write it. Students play in pairs.
