I play a review game called Password. The class is split into 2 teams. A student from each team sits at the front of the room, facing the class. I write a VOCAB word on the whiteboard behind the 2 students, so that they cannot see it. The rest of the class takes turns giving their team mate hints or parts of the definition, but they cannot say the word. The first of the 2 students to guess the word gets a point for their team. The other student must return to their seat, and the team will send up another competitor. I keep score on the board and play until we run out of words (usually 20). This game gets very competitive and fun.
