Discussion Comment

I am anxious to use the blend of activities - those that appeal to the extravert and those to the introvert. I appreciate the emphasis on introducing the activity by stating its purpose.

Next time activity

Will use the relay race, as my class size tends to be small and this activity is better suited [I believe]for smaller groups. Taking a cue from the Baby Ruth candy bar as reward for the baseball game, I would find an appropriate goodie for hand out at the end of the race.

Bilingual students

Because many of our students are bilingual English/Spanish I have found it helpful for long-term memory of all students to have bilingual students find words in English and Spanish that share the same Latin word element.
