My EASY go-to end of year activity
Need an easy, low-prep, end of year activity that can be used in all levels? I (and my students) LOVE this game!
An approach to required vocabulary
Flipping Vocabulary for More Input (and Less Stress)
This year, I’ve revamped how I teach vocabulary—blending storytelling, grammar, and vocabulary lists with a flipped classroom approach. Students complete Gimkit homework before taking weekly quizzes, freeing up class time for more input-rich activities. It’s worked so well, I’m now using it with my 8th graders, too.
A Simple Twist to Gamify “Write and Discuss”
Write and Discuss is our favorite low-prep CI strategy—it’s quick, effective, and easy to implement in Spanish or French classes. Students help create 3–5 sentences using target language structures, then read and analyze them together. Want to boost engagement? Try our Write and Discuss Bingo twist to make it fun and keep kids engaged.
