In one minute! Name as many words of a category as you can before time is up
“Name as many words as you can: animals!” The timer starts, the children say words, and you touch on the board the one just said: it turns from a silhouette into the coloured picture. A right word that is not on the list counts too, with “+1 other word” or the arrow of a remote. At the end, every word shows. A quick way to bring back the vocabulary of a term.

Frequently asked questions
Do I touch the words in order?
No: the words are in alphabetical order, you touch the one just said, wherever it is. A word touched by mistake is touched again to undo it.
What if the list mixes several categories?
The instruction becomes “Name as many words as you can!”, and the class names the words of the list.
