Description of Idea

Students are grouped into teams. Teacher writes a word bank on the blackboard. Teacher explains rules of play: SWA-BATT is only to be used on blackboard (no swatting anything else!). First SWA-BATT on correct answer gets 10 points, second is 5 points, and 1 point for third. Each team selects order in which students will play.

Teacher reads a question or fill-in-the blank statement aloud (or selected student can read). Student selects response by swatting it with the SWA-BATT. Student keeps SWA-BATT on board until teacher completes recording points.
