activities
I use many group activities to not pnly enhace learning but also to enhance team buiding skills
Modifications of "Survival" games and other games are fun and enhance learning
Joel, thanks for sharing what works for you.

I like the fly swatter game
What is the flyswatter game?
this is right and i try to make some challange inthis activity and creat new game
i also have each student review a word and give its meaning. I think this helps with retention
The flyswatter game is where you write the terms on the board that are significant that week and read the definition to the class. Two people are up near the board and the first to run up to the board and swat the correct word gets one point for their team.
Joel the baseball games is a hit with the classes. It applies their knowledge without them knowing.
Jessica this sounds great. I will try this with my students after lunch. This way they can't fall asleep.
I like to play a team hang man game where i might seperate a class into two to three groups depending on the class size. I have the class work as a team and they really enjoy it
michael, teaching teamwork is a valuable lesson in addition to the content.
