These sentences were taken from jiggswalsh's activity which I have linked. Thank you for making them!
Note:
- There are places in the document where you will have to add your own place names. I have highlighted these.
To prepare:
- First page: Print two copies of the first page. This is the answer key for you and the JTE.
- Second page: Print as many copies as you have students.
- Third page: Print one copy and cut out each sentence, making sure you cut them out with the number.
- Blackboard: Draw a race track on the blackboard with 15 stops and a finish line.
- Magnets: Create character magnets for each group or just use normal magnets, each a different colour.
Activity:
- Lay out the 15 cut up sentences at the front of the class.
- One student from each group comes up and gets one sentence.
- They then take it back to their group and have to translate the sentence into English.
- Each student in the group must write the sentence on their worksheet next to the correlating number.
- One student from the group must collect their groups worksheets and the sentence and bring them to the front of the classroom.
- The ALT and JTE will check every group members worksheet. If they are all correct, students leave the sentence and take another one.
- The student must also move their magnet along one stop of the race track.
- First team to translate all sentences correctly wins!
