Divide your class into two teams. One person from each team comes to the board with a flyswatter. Teacher calls out a word, conjugation etc (in the opposite language, ie. If the word on the screen is “come”, then teacher calls out he eats, students find and come and swat it.) First person to find and hit the word gets a point for their team. Next two people come to the board. Players in the audience can yell out locations/directions (arriba, abajo, el centro, a la derecha, a la izquierda), but only in Spanish. They cannot, however, tell the students the word. If there happens to be a tie, then the flyswatter on the bottom is the winner. They cannot slide their flyswatter underneath the other person’s flyswatter. Play continues until all words have been used up or a certain time limit. The team with the most points wins. DIRECTIONS VERSION 2 Choose one of the slides/games and print out the slide. Make enough copies so that every two people will have a copy. Divide your class into pairs.
