This is a fun an interactive way for students to practice writing vocabulary, verb forms or sentence. The complexity of the activity can be easily increased or decreased based on the language level of the students.
On one side of the room, set up clip boards with pictures of vocabulary, subject/infinitive pairs or full sentences. Number the items on the paper. Cover the paper with a colored piece of paper. I use a different color on each board so that groups know which board is theirs.
On the other side of the room, line up chairs with another clipboard that has the numbers of the items on the other sheet with a blank line for writing.
Students work in pairs (or groups of three). One student begins sitting in the chair with the clipboard and a pencil. When you begin the activity, the second students runs to the clipboard on the other side of the room, lifts the colored paper and begins with number one. He/she memorizes the picture (if doing the activity with vocabulary), the correct verb form or the sentence. He/she then runs back to the student in the chair and says what the word, verb form or sentence is and the student in the chair writes it on the paper. They then switch rolls and continue until all the lines are filled.
My head is spinning with the variety of ways I can use this!

Fun idea! What a great way to encourage remembering vocab and writing to practice correct spelling. I’ll be using this with my students this year!
