Running Memory Game – Injury Proof

Running Memory Game  – Another great game for those students who like (or need) to move around. It tests areas like memory and vocabulary. Print out a few papers with images on them – it could be vocabulary review images (like clothes, food, body parts), preposition images or just random images.

  1. Tape the pictures out in the hallway somewhere, or on the other side of the classroom.
  2. Put the students in pairs – one person is the writer, one is the runner
  3. The runner goes out to the hallway and tries to remember the pictures (obviously – they have to know the vocabulary). They run back in and tell it to their partner who writes it down.
  4. Give them 3-5 minutes to finish the activity.
  5. Go through the vocabulary words afterwards
