Sounds stressful! As the days go on you can set up more of a routine and the students won't be as unruly. Maybe make some flash cards with the terms that you want them to learn and another set with pictures representing this action. In groups of threes they can match the word with the card. Make it a competition and the kids will get into it. With these same cards the students could play a game of concentration in twos. You could also have them play charades or pictionary with these phrases. Good luck!
