Chinese whisper. You have your students seated in a group or a couple of groups and you whisper the vocabulary word you want to say. Each student has to whisper to the next, until the last student. The last student has to run up to the board and write down the vocabulary word correctly and quickly before the other team does.

Great ideas, thank you! I'd like to add that "reversed charades" even work better than ordinary ones since everyone is definitely involved in this way. What I mean is that instead of one student showing and others guessing, it is done in the reversed way, one student is guessing and all the other students are showing. It's really fun!

Noon-chi Game. Teach a sentence such as "I went to school yesterday." Students should stand up one at a time and say each word in the sentence in order. So the first student says "I" and the next student says, "went" and so on. If two or more students stand at the same time they are out and you start over from the beginning of the sentence. I will usually start the game by asking a question such as, "What did you do yesterday?" The game starts after the teacher asks the question. If a student says the wrong word then they're out. Play until you complete the sentence or all the students are out. You can also use numbers, the students' names, or almost anything instead of a sentence. When you use numbers, usually the last student that remains sitting is out.

There are two games that we like to use. The first one is the MAD MINUTE , You draw a line on a the board or a notebook. then you set up a target question and your student has to give a 1 minute answer. We usually use WhatsApp to record it. The line on the board is there to grade the activity, you add lines above the line for every complete sentence or phrase and then you add lines below the line for every filler they use. (UMMS). The idea is to add them all up at the end and divide to get your score. Example in a minute she said 16 phrases and used 5 fillers. 16 divided by 5 gives you a score of 3.2 for the student.
