More challenging-students must hold bone between elbow/toe, draw another card and hold it between parts, draw another and keep going until they drop a card.)
Students play the “Fly Swatter Game” to reinforce vocabulary development. (Divide students into 2 teams with 1 fly swatter per team. On an overhead or on the board draw circles with categories, vocabulary words, structure or whatever you choose. For example: The teacher puts food categories in the circles. The teacher says a food in the target language and the first person from a team to swat the category with the fly swatter wins a point for the team. Adapt to body parts using body part words in the target language and the teacher says them in English or the other way around.)
