Vocabulary Tennis – A Vocabulary Review Game

Vocabulary Tennis is basically the same as last week’s Bonk! but with more of a team element.
Instructions:
- Set up students in two rows facing each other.
- The teacher decides which team starts first and shouts out a category.
- The first person in the row needs to call out a vocabulary word from that category. If it’s correct, the person across from them must shout out another vocabulary word from the same cateogry. This continues on down the line bouncing back and forth between teams until someone makes a mistake or repeats a word already said.
This game has advantages over Bonk! in that the whole class is involved and they have to listen to each other. If they don’t listen to the words others are calling out, when it comes to them, they might repeat one and so lose the match for their team. It’s engaging, competative, and fun!
