Running dictee about drinks and places

This is a quite common activity, but it is still efficient and fun (even better with a timer). I would check first if all bags are underneath the tables and make sure no pupils would run. - You display one copy (or several depending on the size of your class) in each corner of the room. - You spit pupils into teams. One person of each team has to go to read one copy, come back to his team, which write down what he read. The first team to finish with the best text wins! It was a real success!
