Choose one student from each team and turn the flashcard, get them to say the flashcard or sentence 3 times before they race to get the eraser and then race to wipe their dot off the board.

The fastest gets the point. A good technique to making this game fair is to increase the size of the winners dot and color it in, you will eventually end up with circles the size of beach balls that the kids have to erase, which of course takes longer giving the other team time to catch up.

The first team to hit it gets the point, if neither hit you look at the closest one to the target. This game plays to the competitive side of the students, and can also work for sentences. You will notice they try to rush through the sentence, make sure you get them to say it clearly. This is a good game for drawing out any vocabulary that the students have been taught.
