This is a great idea that I am adding to a word document of new things to try this year. I find I forget the ideas over the summer so hopefully having them in one place will help me really try it. Thanks.

I love using four corners in my bilingual classroom to review vocabulary (like parts of a flower, shapes, water cycle, etc). For example, I'll have a student count down from 10 with eyes closed, then when they get to zero they choose one of the four options. The rest of the class has to find a corner, any corner, while the student who is "it" counts. The students who are in the corner that was called, have to sit down, every round there are less students until there is one left and then that student is "it". Although it doesn't get them thinking about why they chose it, the students hear the vocabulary repeated about 30 times in 10 minutes. There are pictures are each corner to reinforce the meaning of the world. I do this with my language learning Kinders so vocabulary repetition is super important. I love your idea about using it to gauge their knowledge about a topic beforehand for preassessment or as a little quiz.
