Comments on: Bonk! – A Vocabulary Review Game http://turklishtefl.com/2011/06/08/bonk-a-vocabulary-review-game/ Down into the rabbit hole of ELT in Turkey (and now China) Sun, 05 May 2013 23:57:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Richard http://turklishtefl.com/2011/06/08/bonk-a-vocabulary-review-game/comment-page-1/#comment-29567 Richard Sat, 11 Jun 2011 17:02:14 +0000 http://turklishtefl.com/?p=1384#comment-29567 It's a cracking game this, good enough without the bat, but a bit of extra fun/ motivation never hurt anyone. If hitting on the head is considered bad a tap on the knee can suffice. Teresa mentioned the TV show previously, I grew up watching that nonsense as well! Here's a good clip - 80s classic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUfv-tAfXn4 Cheers Nick, good to see you back in action! : ) It’s a cracking game this, good enough without the bat, but a bit of extra fun/ motivation never hurt anyone.

Sue :-) Hi Nick,

This sounds like great fun to use with young learners, although I’m not sure if you could get away with using it in the UK without having to do a risk assessment ;-)

Good to see you back on the blogging block!

That's hilarious. Was it as a language game or just for something else. I picked up the game in Vietnam from some fellow teachers. The bat really does add to the fun.

I kept looking at the blog and had tons of stuff to write, but was always so tired. I think short, quick, and practical is the way to go for me at the moment. The game is a blast. And I won't lie, I even use this game with adults :) It's often good for a laugh, especially with beginners. It’s good to be back Dave :) .

A really fun way to practise vocabulary and I think the added pressure of the bat adds to the fun! I remember watching this game as a child on Saturday morning TV – it was called Mallett’s Mallet.
