Here is an interesting way I review vocab with my students.

Noughts and Crosses: T writes the vocab. to be revised on the board in a noughts and crosses grid (ie 9 vocab. items).Divide SS into two teams, one noughts and the other crosses. Toss a coin to see which team starts and nominate a ‘volunteer’ to choose any word from the grid. That S must use the word in a correct sentence. If the sentence is incorrect the word gets thrown over to the other team for them to try. When a correct sentence is provided, rub out the word and replace it with a nought or cross depending on the team. Now it’s the other teams chance to pick a word. The team with three 0’s or X’s in a row wins.

I usually elicit/re-present any words remaining in the grid after the game has finished, as they are likely to be the ones SS don’t know yet.

This is similar to the running dicatation activity outlined in vocabulary ideas.

Pin up a list of English vocabulary. Divide the class into pairs. One person is a scribe and the other is a runner. The runner must run to the vocab list and remember the first word then run back to their team. The runner tells the word to the scribe and then the scribe writes down the English word and then translates it inot Japanese. The runner then runs back to the vocab list and remembers the next word and so on. The pair that is finished first with all the translations correct wins!
