Materials: Whiteboard, markers, eraser, sticky ball
Write 8–10 target words on the board once, then keep using the same set.
1. Spelling Race: give a clue, definition, action, or translation. Students race to write the correct word. Leave the words on the board.
2. Find & Circle: give a clue and students race to find and circle the correct word.
3. Sticky Ball: throw a sticky ball at the board. Complete a task with the word it hits—read it, give the meaning, or make a sentence.
4. What’s Missing?: students memorize the words and their positions, close their eyes, and the teacher erases one. Students identify the missing word.
Use all four in sequence or choose only the ones that fit your lesson.
