So pleased to hear that Atchi Patchi was a hit. I must credit my dear
colleague Emily West for teaching it to me. Where did she get it? More on
that later. What games are you all using to build your classroom community and
get kids involved in speaking Spanish.

Yes, ditto! I played Atchi Patchi and my students really liked it. I'm so
grateful for the ideas you all share on this platform. I never really chime in,
but I do read and I'm grateful.

Atchi Patchi was a total hit today! Even my brand new students (who are sadly
mixed in with my 2nd years) were trying to recombine vocab words for their
answers! Lots of fun. Thanks Ruth. Hope to see more of you online next week!
What a great way to be inspired!

From Ruthie:
Atchi Patchi. Like who is in the middle. Students sitting in circle. One
student is standing in the middle. Everyone closes their eyes as student is in
the middle thinking up a question to ask the group. While they are closing eyes
touch one student on the shoulder. This person is the Atchi Patchi. Then ask
everyone to open their eyes. Student in the middle (not knowing who is the
Atchi Patchi begins asking everyone the same question. When the student who is
the Atchi Patchi is asked the question, they respond, "Atchi Patchi". At this
moment everyone stands up and moves to a different spot in the circle. The
student who remains standing is the question asker. Again, everyone closes
their eyes. The teacher selects the Atchi Patchi and the questions start again.
Curious: where does the phrase "Atchi Patchi" come from? Google yields no
interesting results...
