Running dictation

Post sentences on a wall. One student sits. The other student (or students) run/walk to the piece of paper, memorize one sentence, return to the first student, and repeat it. The writer writes it down. Continue until all sentences are written down.

I've used this when discussing sequence (e.g., Russia Revolution or 1905). The sentences/terms list certain events out of order. Students must transcribe the sentences/term and then put them in the correct order.
