This is a game created for my year 12 class, which is quite small. For example, lets say you have 6 students Students are given a number 1, 2 or 3 They all close their eyes and in turn teacher calls out numbers randomly. They open their eyes when their number is called and either remember their word, or jot it down. Eventually, teacher shouts “abre los ojos” and they start to get all their words down onto a mini wipe board. The aim is, the winners will be the team that have the correct Spanish sentence on their board first. After a coule of minutes, an “unstuck” can be shown (part of the translation in English)
