This is one of my favorite games to play with older children. A player from each team comes to the front with their backs to the board. You write an English sentence on the board like 'The purple cat likes to go shopping with the green lion.' Their team members must speak to the players in Vietnamese and the players must translate the sentence back into English. When they can repeat the whole sentence without any eliciting from their team members, the player raise their hands and tell me the English sentence. Super fun.

One student from each team gets a flash card. Neither know what's on the flash cards. The first one to shout their opponents word correctly is the winner. So funny to watch. Works well with grade 4.

You could have a lot of fun using a picture dice or by assigning flash cards to numbers on a giant dice. Now we just need to find or make some oversized dice.

Great warmer!

Line up a group of 10 students in the front, each student to say a number (alternating between English and Vietnamese). Example: S1- one, S2- Ha, S3- three, S4-bon etc). WARNING!!- Sharpen up on your Vietnamese counting vocab, atleast from 1-10. Students that repeat two consecutive words in English/Vietnamese are out, or if they take too long to figure it out. Eliminate until one winner!!!!

You can buy these from the orange fronted stationers 'HP Book' on To Hieu Street. The kids love them as an alternative to 'slap the board'.

Get a group of students to stand at the front of the class in a row, each with a flashcard, or if teaching numbers you assign each one a number. They have to say their word one at a time as you point. Each time you reach the end go back to the beginning and speed up, then point randomly to them. If you have willing students, invite a student to become the teacher, pointing to each one to say their word.
