La caja

This game was posted on the OFLA list serv. I have not played it, but I would use this game as a sponge activity or an activity for after a test.
1) Put a goofy command in as a box such as, "Walk like a chicken."
2) Ask students questions. If a student responds appropriately right,go on to the next student. If the student does not answer appropriatedly, that student gets the box(but may not open it) and continue on to the next student.
3) The game goes on in this manner with the box being passed along to each student who answers your questions incorrectly. The student left holding the box when time runs out, must open and do what is written on the little slip.
Do not tell students how much time is allotted for each round because they will begin to incorporate stall tactics so that they are not stuck with the box.
