Comments:
This activity depends
on the students’ ability to think and recap on their vocabulary and knowledge
quickly. It is suitable to be used in learning because it helps students to
recap their vocabulary skills and adding some new vocabulary or words that they
might not know before. This game is most suitable to be used inside of the
classroom but requires a quick movement from the students. Teachers need to
ensure the safety of the students if it is conducted inside the classroom. This
game can help the students to experience teaching techniques that are
refreshing, fun and competitive.

I really enjoy this game and really suitable for the target audiences which are primary school students. However, this game needs limit the number of the players because if it is too little number of the players, it is hard to get a winner because the players did not have time to think the objects; if it is too many players, it will product many winners in a group and will not stimulate the players to play the game. therefore ,this game should change the rules such as limit the number of the players per group or adjust the number of the object that need to name. This game is simple but it enhance students' vocabulary and their acuity. i really enjoy the game.
I am interested to this game because it's a creative way to attract students interest in learning a language. This game seems to be simple, but it is actually quite challenging where students need to think fast in giving the six names. Good game Akma!
I also think that this is an interesting game and I really like this game. This game helps the students to think fast and at the same time can help them to enhance their vocabulary. although the objects that the students need to name are just the simple object around them, but this game still challenging as the students need to react fast in answering the questions. I also agree with SuHui that this game should have the limit of the players or adjust the number of the objects that students need to name.
actually, i like this game where it challenges the students to think fast. However, I think it is more suitable to be performed only among the higher proficiency students. Perhaps, the number of the answers can be reduced to less than 6..hehe..just a suggestion....GOOD JOB akma..
