Run and Write

Materials:
 * A list of target vocabulary to practice.

Instructions:
 * Separate students into teams (usually two teams, each with one half of the class). Each team makes a line. The first student in each line is the starting player. The starting players are closest to the board (though not too close, they still have to run to the board) and they each start with a board marker, preferably of different colors to symbolize each team. The teacher calls out a random word from the list and the starting players have to run to the board and write it. As soon as they're done (or even before) the teacher calls out another word. The starting players run back to the second person in line and give them the marker so they can run to the board and write the next word. This continues until all the words are used. At that point, the teacher checks if the words are spelled correctly and each group gets a point for each word written correctly. The group with the highest score wins.

Variations:
 * Letter Relay


 * Random Sample
