Hot Potato
Subject: Foreign Languages
(This idea was contributed by Amy O'Connor)
Age Range: 5 to 11

Students stand in a circle. The student holding the ball must say one of their unit vocabulary words in both English and Spanish. If they do this correctly, they may pass the ball to another student and then that student repeats the same process.

Encourage quick thinking, reminding the students that the ball is a hot potato.

This activity is a lot of fun and the students get a break from their seats.
