Just tried this yesterday and I totally killed it. Kids were going crazy about the game.
I made some minor modifications though: whenever one of the sections was out, I'd ask kids for words that start with some letter and write it in that very crossed section. Whenever a kid was missing the target (which happened extremely often), they had to write a sentence with that word. Also the kids were constantly asking for "how to spell..." and sometimes it gets annoying to keep writing the same word over and over on the board. So whenever a kid asked a frequently asked word, say "beautiful", I'd just write it on one of the crossed sections too. That forces them to review the most frequent words as well whenever they hit them. I also didn't use a queue and made two teams competing against each other.

Nice job. I like your modification. It might eat up a bit more time, but great practice for writing and using new vocabulary!
