This worksheet by veteran teacher and long time advocate of Comprehensible Input, Bob Patrick, has been a great resource for me. His ideas of how to introduce vocabulary for retention are right on target with second language acquisition research. I used his ideas, in addition to my textbook, to play vocabulary "games" with my students, acting out words, drawing them, giving commands (Simon says), etc. Since I started doing these vocabulary activities with TPR and Comprehensible Input, my students have increased their vocabulary tremendously.
