TitleMore Ideas for Extra Class Time
Body
Here are some things you could try:

- Telephone: Whisper to a student a phrase in the target language and have him/her pass it on until all the students have heard the phrase. See if what you end up with is what you started with. It can be very funny!

- Listen to songs in the target language. I sometimes let my students listen to popular songs in the target language. If you can, give them the lyrics so they can associate sounds with words.

- Review vocablary flash cards for a current unit of study, or an old one as a refresher.

- Current events: Ask students to collect information about the target culture in the news. Share these stories in class.

- Show souvenirs, newspaper clippings, post cards, etc. from the target culture.
