Dictation is a fun game where you get to practice your listening and writing skills all at once. The teacher will say a word or sentence, and it's up to you and your team to write down exactly what you heard. The first team to get it right wins a point!

To play this game, you just need some paper and pencils. If your class has whiteboards and markers, that's even better because you can quickly write and erase. Working in teams makes the game more exciting.

Here's how it goes: The teacher will announce a word or a sentence. Every team tries to write down what they heard as quickly and accurately as they can. Once written, a team member shouts it out. If they get it right, they earn a point for their team. The words or sentences might get harder as the game goes on.

The team with the most points at the end is the winner.
