This is a great interactive game for any class, but it's especially wonderful for language classes working on pronunciation! HOW TO PLAY 1. Divide your students in half randomly and write their names on the board under the headings "HIDE" and "SEEK" (in your language). 2. The first pair sends their "seeker" into the hall for 20 seconds while the "hider" hides a piece of brightly colored paper somewhere in the room. My rules for hiding are:
3. I project the word for the whole class to see using Quizlet flashcards. 4. The "hider" opens the door for the "seeker" to return, and the whole class chants the word on the board. We chant more loudly as s/he gets closer to the hiding spot. To avoid screaming and bothering other classes, we wave our hands in the air when s/he is really close. 5. When the student finds the word, s/he must tell us the definition. A FEW CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT TIPS:
My Spanish students love playing this interactive game! Be sure to set clear expectations before you start to avoid any classroom management difficulties, and then have lots of fun!

I just saw this post on Quizlet. Do you give the teams points?

Hi Pam. They are not really playing in teams, but more collaboratively, so there are no points. It is VERY rare that a student doesn't find the hidden word, and I feel like the class would work against the seeker if points were on the line.
