Uses For Small White Boards

Here are a collection of posts I've made on what to do with small white boards if you have them, plus a little extra!

1. Musical chairs:

A vocabulary review game.

4. Popcorn reading:

A method of introducing students to a new text that they've never seen but been prepped for, reviewing an older text, or reading a text written from a story you told in class.

9. Snatch-it - a totally different version:

I haven't posted about this, but I should really update my snatch-it post.

So many ways to do this:

a. Set up several white boards with category ideas on them. That could be:

animalia                     colores                  villa                numeri

was doing                  did and done               is doing                 will do

homo                       animal                    res

Kids get into groups, and you say a word. The group's job is to discuss it (I give them fifteen seconds), and when I hit the bell, one designated human runs to grab the appropriate board. Then circling questions can be asked to ensure that everybody understands.

b. Line up white boards around your room or outside, wherever you choose to do this. Choose a few volunteers. (this is a hybrid version of flyswatter and Jason Fritze's angels and demons, and I like to do it week one.)

Write a word on each board, and give them the English, show a picture, or do a hand sign. The volunteers must run for their group and get to the board in question before anyone else. Then the group must choose new people to run for them. Questions are always asked after each one.
