Tips, activities and teaching strategies for Primary language teachers 2.



Smart board, small whiteboards and dictionaries.

Divide your group in teams. Hide the words and reveal them one by one. The students use dictionaries and ( preferably ) small whiteboards. Whoever gets the right spelling first gets a point for themselves or their team. Move on to the next word.

Another option would be to give each team a number of points (which may vary depending on the number of words) to start with, and remove one point for every spelling mistake made by a member of a team.
 
Final recap: hide the French column or the English one and test the students on one language or the other.
