Smack It!

From Tina Matic, a Spanish teacher at Oxford Academy in Cypress, California:

"Here's a fun way to review vocabulary. Write a variety of vocabulary words all over the board. Divide the class into two teams and coose one representative from each team to come up to the board. Them them a fly swatter with which they are to 'smack' the correct vocabular word upon the teacher's prompting. Whoeer smacks first wins a point for thier team. Prompts may be english translations, compelte the sentence, opposites, synonyms or any other creative question the teacher can make up. This game gets the kids moving! In the event the 'smackers' don't know the answer, the other students (who have been paying close attention) have an opportunity to answer it for the point!"
