BINGO
The teacher writes a set of 15 words on the board and the students choose 6 and write them down. The teacher then chooses a word and defines it. If the students have that word, they cross it out. The first student to cross out all of their words shouts BINGO!
Scrabble
Each team get a word written across the middle of the page or the whiteboard. The teams must write words connected to that word using at least one letter from the orginal word. Creating a kind of Scrabble game. The team that manages to get the most words, wins!
These words aren't connected but you get the idea.
Catagories
Put the students in pairs and make them create a table with two columns. The teacher then reads out words and the students have to decide which column the words fits into.
The secret here is to make fun columns. Things like 'edible and non-edible' 'good and evil'
Students can then have fun discussing which column to put things into.
Running Crocodiles
Put the students in teams of 4 or more and get them to make a list or the topic vocabluary. Things like jobs or clothes or even verbs will work really well.
Stick these lists on the opposite side of the room. When you shout 'GO!' the first student runs over to the list, chooses a word and acts it out. The other members of their team who are waiting at the other end of the classroom have to shout the correct answer. When they do, the student crosses that off the list and comes back and the next student goes. he first team to finish all their words is the winner.
Hope you enjoy these games guys. Thanks to Vaughan Jones for some of the ideas. The last one is my own and is quite chaotic but great fun!
Happy teaching!
