Two queues and lots of questions.

An involving, rousing,  noisy speaking activity.....but it's worth while...

This morning students in the second class did an activity which turned to be very successful. I got inspiration from a game I saw on TV a few days ago.

They were divided in two groups and were asked to stand in two rows. They created two queues. Each student had to answer a question or translate a sentence and if he/she failed he/she was out, while if the answer was right he/she went back behind all the students of the row in  his/her group.

The group having the last student left won the game.

There was a real competition and they seemed to be really interested and enthusiastic. It was a good activity from the didactic point of view. They paid great attention to the other students' answers……!!!!sometimes even better than me!
