Guessing Games:Guessing Games:Guessing Games:Guessing Games:

Charades. Well-known parlour game where one person silently acts outhis/her word for the rest of the team to guess within two minutes.

Whats My Line? Similar to Charades. One person mimes an aspect of a particularjob. The team ask closed questions to guess the profession, gaining a point for every yes.

Pictionary. As charades, but instead of acting the word, the S draws it on theboard. No letters or figures are allowed. Speaking and miming are also off-limits.

Je Pense a Quelque Chose/I Spy. The student thinks of something and the others have to

guess what it is. With I-Spy, the chosen object must be visible and the first letter is given

in the phrase: I spy with my little eye something beginning with

Complete Cloze. A sentence is represented by lines on the board, like hangman butwith one line of appropriate length per word. The Ss have to guess the words in the

sentence. An object or a picture can be shown to stimulate the production of relevant

language. The optical illusions on the back cover can be used for this.

Memory Games:Memory Games:Memory Games:Memory Games:Shopping List. The first S says I went to Asda and I bought and chooses an item to

start the mental list eg: some butter. The next S says: I went to Asda and I bought some

butter and and adds another item to the list eg: a bottle of shampoo. The next one

says I went to Asda and I bought some butter, a bottle of shampoo and etc. T should

write the list and check. Ss are eliminated for mistakes or (excessive) hesitation. You can

make it easier to remember by ruling that goods are added to the list in alphabetical order.

Kims Game. Ss have one minute to remember items of realia, then list them.

Grab Realia. Realia items are placed within equal reach of all Ss. T says a word and the

Ss try to snatch the relevant piece. Wearing gloves can make it harder, more fun and safer!

Circle Games:Circle Games:Circle Games:Circle Games:

Wipeout. Give Ss a category. They have to take turns naming an item

in that category until someone hesitates or makes a mistake and is out.

Tell Me cards will give you some categories if youre stuck.

Tennis Elbow Foot. One S says a word, the next S says one which has a logical link, the

next S links to that word and the game continues until someone hesitates or is successfully

challenged. You can put a sting in the tale and throw the game into reverse as a surprise!!

Another variation is Disassociation where there must be no link between wordswhatsoever. Ss challenge each other if they can point out any connection.

Clean Alphabet. Ss take turns to say words beginning with the next letter of thealphabet. T can make it easier by eliminating tough letters or harder by choice of category.

You can use the Scrabble cards to randomly generate the letters.

Dont Spell a Word/Ghost/Monkey/Donkey/Wraiths/Chain Letters. First S thinks of a

word and says the first letter which the T writes on the board. The next S thinks of a word

beginning with this letter and says the second letter which the T writes after the first. The

third S thinks of a word beginning with these two letters and says the third letter. The S

take turns giving the T letters which must continue an existing word without completing it.

Any S who completes a word loses one of his/her three lives. If anyone is out very early in

the game, you can offer the chance to regain one life with a successful challenge.

Challenges are accusations of having completed a word, or of making up a word that does

not exist. In order to survive the No such word challenge the Ss must be able to name

the word he is spelling and the T agree that it is a real word. The Ts decision is final. T

should be ready to pounce when Ss start a word with a or i as these are words. Ss often

dont notice the two-letter words either and will gaily choose e after a b making bewithout realising it.

Word Chains. Ss take turns to say words beginning with the last letter of the previous

word. Eg: piggoattiger rat For more advanced Ss, Compound Word Chains. Eg:

mousetrap; trapdoor; doorman; man-made; made-up; upstage; stagecoach; coach station

Fizz Buzz. Ss stand in a circle. One S says one, the next one says two etc. Theycontinue counting off quickly until somebody hesitates or makes a mistake. This S then

sits down and the game continues. This may well prove so easy that you may have to stop

the round yourself, which is fine. Now restart the game with the instruction that any word

which is divisible by 5 must be replaced with fizz. When this becomes easy, add in the

next obstacle: any number which contains a seven must be replaced with the word buzz.

The sequence is now: one, two, three, four, fizz, six, buzz, eight, nine, fizz, eleven, twelve,

thirteen, fourteen, fizz, sixteen, buzz Ensure the Ss keep up the pace. Exchange fizz for

adjectives and buzz for verbs. Exchange fizz for items of clothing and buzz for fruit, etc.

Other Vocab Games:Other Vocab Games:Other Vocab Games:Other Vocab Games:

Stop!/Pants Game/Baccalaureate. Draw a grid on the board:

Places Animals Names Things Score

B Bournemouth bear Ben ball

Ask Ss to copy it. Tell Ss you are going to give them a letter. They must write the letter in

the first column and then think of a word for each category that starts with the chosen

letter. The first S to complete the line must call out: Stop! and everyone must stop

writing. Ask this student which word they wrote for Places and write it on the board. Ask

if any other S chose the same word; if someone has duplicated the answer, each S receives

1 point, if nobody else has chosen it, the S gets 2 points. If the S is the only one with aword in a particular category he gets 3 points. Ask the other Ss which words they wrote


6/22


and award 1, 2 or 3 points accordingly. When you have checked with the whole class, go

back to the original S and repeat the process for Animals, Names and Things. The Ss write

in their score and the T starts the next round with a new letter. Other categories which can

be fun include: things you find in your bathroom; things that smell nice; things you hold in

your hand to use; adjectives to describe you! Tell me cards can help with category ideas.

Odd One Out. Split the class into two teams. T reads out a list of four items

and the Ss spot the odd one out (for 1 point) and why (for 1 more point).

Inevitable humour comes from desperate Ss jumping in after just the first

word has been read out. Ss who correctly spot the oddity have the opportunity

to explain why or force their opponents to do so (choose play or pass). A

wrong reason loses a point but Ss risk the other team gaining a point if they are correct.

Blankety Blank. Two games here. 1. One S is told a short situation where one word in

the final sentence is blank. The rest of the class write the word they think it is on a sheet of

paper. The single student answers and gains one point for every student that matches.

2. Supermatch Game: Three two-word expressions which share acommon word are written on the board with the common word blank.

All the Ss write their guess in big writing. When everyone is finished,

they all hold up their papers and score a point for every student who

matched with them. Useful exercise for collocations.

Every Second Counts. Ss are given words which fit one of three categories,

such as: "All these words can be preceded by the words fruit, market or blue".

Ss then take turns to respond to the cue word. Eg: Bird=blue; bat=fruit;

basket=fruit; place=market One point for each correct answer.

Useful for collocations, parsing, vocabulary building, spelling andpronunciation.

Blockbusters. Most useful at planning stage as Ss must compile thequestions in groups three or less. Give Ss an example question eg: Q:

What B is an instrumental group? A: Band. Tell them the questions

should be easy or they will need an everlasting supply of questions.

Draw or project the grid on the board. When the questions are

prepared the groups take turns to run the show. One student asks

the questions, another marks the board using two different coloured board

markers, and another judges who buzzed first. Two teams play, with one side

working across and the other going vertically. If teams are not matched in size,

have the smaller team play vertically. The first side to complete wins the point.

Call My Bluff. Divide the class into groups of around three Ss. Give each group adictionary and a (different) list of uncommon words (there is a list at the back of this book).

They use the dictionaries to find the definitions and then to rewrite in their own words.

Then they invent two other plausible false definitions for each of their words. Allow plenty

of time for this stage and monitor closely, offering advice and assistance. Students can be

devious by using definitions from closely related or similar sounding words, eg:

pogonophobia could be described as 1. A fear of pigs; 2. A fear of beards; 3.A fear of

circles. The final stage is to play the game. One team must read the three definitions of the

chosen word to the other team who must guess which is correct. The point goes to the teamthat guesses correctly or successfully bluffs. (BTW, the answer is 2)


7/22


orandFamily Fortunes. Divide the class into two families and have them electa captain. Choose a category for the first family and explain to the second that they must

listen carefully to the first familys answers as they will get a chance to steal all their points

if the first team give three wrong answers. Write the numbers 1 to 7 vertically on the

board. Tell the first family that, without conferring, they must take it in turns to suggest an

item that they think will appear on your list of seven items for the selected category. Every

time a listed item is given, write it on the board next to the appropriate number and give the

team a point. If they give the top answer, give them 2 points. If they give an answer which

is not on the list (hit your noise-maker if you have one) mark a big X on the board. If they

get another wrong answer, repeat and remind the other family to get ready to steal. After

a third wrong answer offer the second family one chance to get a correct answer and steal

all the points from this round make sure they confer but only take the answer given by the

captain. If their answer is not on your list the first family keep all their hard-won points.

Go through any remaining answers. Remind the team in play that they cannot confer.

Pelmanism (Pairs). Many course books provide cut up activities involving a picturecard and the word on another card, which the students have to match up. It takes a coupleof minutes and the activity is over. Why not maximise your cutting out efforts by playing

pelmanism? Lay all the cards face down and Ss take it in turns to turn over 2 cards. If they

match they keep the trick and select another two cards, if not, they flip them back over

and the next S takes their turn. The player with the most tricks wins and the vocab sticks!

PronunciationPronunciationPronunciationPronunciationChinese Whispers. A sentence or word is whispered to a S who then whispers it to the

next, and so on until the word reaches the student waiting by the board who must then writewhat s/he hears.

Running Dictation. A text is displayed well away from the secretary of each pair or group

and the other Ss go back and forth, reading and dictating until the task is complete.

Minimal pairs: Telephone Numbers. Write the numbers from 0-9 on the board andassociate each number with a word from a list of 5 sets of minimal pairs, for example:

1- pear 2- bear 3- road 4- load 5- ship 6- sheep

Using this as a code, read out a list of words and ask Ss to decode the list into a number,

maybe a phone code (eg 0044 for UK), and write it down. Ss check the number against

their partners list. Go round focussing their attention on the sounds they are having

difficulty hearing and help with pronunciation. Now get them to think of a number and

code it to their partner. Choose your minimal pairs carefully to highlight the sounds which

particular L1 speakers find problematic, eg /p/ and /b/ for Arabic speakers.

Minimal pairs: Noughts and Crosses. Draw a # on the board for students to copy. From

a list of minimal pairs, ask them to (roughly and quickly) draw, say, a bear in the top left

corner, a pear in the centre square, etc, until the grid is full. Make your own copy while

they are doing this or prepare yours before the lesson. Then choose a pair of Ss to play by

calling out their square to the T using the minimal pair words. Fill in the nought or cross in

the square corresponding to the word you first hear. Ignore any pleading to allow them tocorrect themselves!


8/22


Detectives. Two Ss are sent out of the class to concoct an alibi for a crime, which the

teacher has described to the whole class. They should account for their whereabouts for a

set time period of about 2 hours. Whilst outside, the other Ss, the detectives, plan their

questions in two groups. Both suspects are interviewed separately by each groups and any

discrepancies in their story render them guilty. If their alibi is watertight they go free.

Whats wrong? A willing extrovert volunteer is asked to leave the room and change

something about himself and his clothing. For example, swap his left and right shoes, put

his jumper on inside out etc. Ss have to identify what is wrong. Alternatively, change

things in the class for him to spot. Useful for recycling upside down, back to front, etc.

Liar/Tell the Truth. 3 Ss go out and tell each other about something they have done in

their life. They agree on one Ss anecdote. All 3 come back and tell the anecdote as their

own. Rest of Ss have to accuse the two liars after thorough questioning.

Im the answer. Ss have a card each with a noun on it. T says random adjectives. Ss

who think their noun can be described this way stand up. They may have to invent some

clever ways to convince the T to accept their answer. Use cards from Scavenger Hunt.

Balloon Debate. Ss are given identities of famous people and told that they are all inthe basket of a balloon which is going to crash because its overloaded. The Ss must give

reasons why they should not be jettisoned for the good of the rest of the class. List of

World famous people at the back of this book.

Hot Seat/Back to the Board. A S sits in the Ts chair (the hot seat) facing the class. T

writes a word on the board. Classmates call out clues to help him guess the word. Divide

the class into two teams to make it more competitive. Excellent for vocab recycling.

Taboo. Divide class into two teams and seat them along opposite walls, facingeach other, with an empty seat in the centre of the team. A student takes a card (see back

of this booklet) and goes to sit with the opposition in the vacant seat. The opposition can

then see the card and make sure the headword, any of its derivatives or any of the taboo

words listed on the card are not mentioned as the S uses verbal clues to his team-mates

across the room. Give them a noise-maker to use if there is a foul.

Talkabout. Just a Minute reduced to 20 seconds plus Taboo in reverse. Ss haveto say as much as possible on a given subject in 20 seconds. T has a secret list of five or

six Hot Words (use Taboo cards). Ss score a point for each one they happen to mention.

Just a Minute. Brainstorm some topics they know a lot about, eg: themselves;their family; home town; their country; job; hobbies. Add some other topics on the board,

eg: Bournemouth; learning a language; things to do before you die; when I am a

millionaire etc. Explain that the Ss will talk for one minute on the chosen topic and that

they should avoid Repetition, Deviation or Hesitation. Use a stopwatch with a

Pause/Resume facility and encourage the other students to gain points by challenging

for one of the three reasons given. The original radio game then hands the subject

over to the successful challenger for the remaining time, with 2 extra points beingawarded to the person speaking when the whistle blows but this may discourage

Fluency


9/22


Ss from challenging so you can let the original speaker resume after awarding a point to the

challenger. The radio show was invented by Ian Messiter and has been running on Radio 4

since 22nd

December 1967.

4444Sausage. Divide the class into two teams. One S chooses a topic which they know alot about (maybe sailing, for example). Then, T writes down an unrelated secret word (eg:

sausage) on a slip of paper and gives it to the S. The S has to speak for 30 seconds on

their subject and gets a point for every time sausage is heard in their speech, but lose all

those points if the opposing team correctly identifies the sausage word at the end; having

conferred the opposing team is allowed only one guess chosen by the teams captain.

Speed-dating. Arrange chairs into two concentric circles, facing each other. Ssinterview the S opposite until T rings a bell. Then everyone in the inner circle moves

round one seat and begins again with a new S. Give Ss a different open question each on aslip of paper or give them a topic and they have to keep the conversation going.

A Word in your Ear. A series of communication games created by host Gordon

Burns of Krypton Factor fame.

1. Ss sit in pairs facing each other so that one of each pair can see the

television. S/he has to provide a running commentary which the partner

has to memorise and answer questions upon.

2. One S sees a simple line drawing or an object made up from Lego-

style building-bricks or Cusinere rods and describes how the parts of the

picture or object relate to one another. The other S tries to replicate it.

3. Ss convey emotions/adjectives etc by gesture and charade. Give the S

a list of adverbs and an arbitrary line of dialogue to deliver to his team-

mates in the appropriate manner to enable his team to guess the adverbs.Example: Is this a dagger I see before me? loudly; sadly; crazily; slowly; romantically

The team scores a point for each adverb identified.

4 letter words. Give the Ss a topic and ask them to write a sentence or a story using words

of 4 letters or fewer. Harder than it sounds. Try it yourself!

Yes/No Interlude. The object is to make the victim say Yes or No. T shoulddemonstrate and then the Ss should be given some time to think about their questions.

Good questions for getting someone out are: Are you ready? Are you married? You just

said Yes then, didnt you? More fun if you have a bell or buzzer for when they are out.

Rizla Game. Mix and Mingle game. Write famous names onto Post-it Notes and stickthem to the foreheads or, more conservatively, on the backs of all the Ss. Students mix and

mingle, asking each other closed questions to find out who they are. As a variation, you

could make the names with romantic partners and the Ss have to find their perfect match.

Examples: Anthony & Cleopatra, Romeo & Juliet, Posh & Becks, Mickey & Minnie, etc.

20 Questions /Animal Vegetable Mineral. A chosen student, seated at the Ts desk, uses

closed questions to guess the secret word written on the board behind him. For AVM, the

word must be a noun and the student is told whether it is animal, vegetable or mineral

before asking the first of his/her 20 questions to the class as a whole. Although low in STT

and intimidating for some Ss, its useful if you have a few spare minutes at lessons end.

Coffee Pot. Give a S a secret noun on a slip of paper. The S must not say this word but

must substitute it with the phrase coffee pot. Using the substitution phrase coffee pot,

the rest of his team ask questions to discover what the secret noun is; eg: Is your coffee potused in the bathroom? Do you brush your teeth with your coffee pot?

Grammar Auction. In pairs, give S a list of sentences: some perfectly correct andsome with errors. Distribute the same amount of play money to each pair. They have to

decide how much money they are willing to spend buying each sentence, bearing in mind

they dont want to buy a dud. Dont spend too much time on this stage as they will re-

evaluate as the auction progresses as they wont win every lot they bid on. Take your part

as auctioneer and offer each lot for auction, starting at a low price (but keeping it to round

figures to keep the maths simple) and encourage the students to bid. After each lot is sold,

take the money and then tell them if their sentence is good or not. If its not, they can write

it on the board and re-auction it themselves at the end of the sale, but it remains worthless if

they keep it themselves or fail to sell it on, even if they fix it correctly. They can opt to

bluff and try to sell on an imperfect sentence to the opposition, or this might happen

naturally if they arent too hot on their error correction. At the end of the auction, the

students with the most correct purchases are the winners and a count-up of any remaining

money will settle a tie. A makeshift gavel adds to the auction room feel.

Sticky Balls. Draw a target on the whiteboard. Divide the target into points with thehighest in the bullseye. Have the students throw the ball at the target to choose select the

number of points they score if they answer the grammar question correctly. Great fun!

Football. This game can be used to practice any language point you want. Youdevise the questions, and use the game to keep the score! Draw

this grid on almost the whole board. Divide the class into two

teams. Use a white magnet button as the ball and place it in the

centre circle. Toss a coin to start the match. Ask the Ss their

question and advance the ball towards their goal. Each correctanswer allows the ball into the next area (ie to cross one line).

Once the ball has reached a goal box, the team have a shot at goal,

scoring by answering a tough question correctly. If they score, return the ball to the centre

circle with the other team to answer the next question. If they miss, move the ball

backwards into the large part of the field. You can use yellow and red magnets as yellow

cards and red cards if you want to add an element of jeopardy to the game. If they get a

question wrong (not a goal question) they get a yellow card place the yellow magnet on

the board on their side. If they get another one wrong its the red card and they miss their

next question.

Grammar


11/22


Spelling Bee. Ss take turns to spell a word given by T. Last S standing wins.

Catchword. Based on BBC game hosted by Paul Coia. Give Ss three random letters.

They think of the longest word they can, which starts with the first letter and

includes the other two in the correct order. Teams declare the number of letters in

their longest word, teacher writes the longest word on the board. The other team tryto think of a longer word. Team with the longest word at the end of the time limit

(suggest one minute per team) wins a point for every letter in their word. Eg: MSG

Possibilities include MESSAGE, MESSENGER, MISOGYNISTIC,

MISUNDERSTANDING, MONOSODIUMGLUTOMATE. 19 letters = 19 points to the

winning team. Can be useful for stimulating recall for affixation.

Countdown. Give Ss 9 letters. They have to think of thelongest word within the time limit (one minute is good). At the

end of the thinking time they must declare the number of letters in their longest word.

Write the declaration next to Ss name then ask the S with the longest word to say it. Checkthat the number of letters matches the declaration, that spelling is correct and that all of the

letters are in the selection and that none have been used twice. Award that S one point for

each letter in the word, with the exception of a nine-letter word which earns double points.

If the longest word declared is disqualified, go to the next highest declaration. If more than

one student has the highest number of letters they should all be awarded the points. Ss with

shorter words should have them checked but no points should be awarded.

Word Ladder. Give teams two words. Must change one letter at a time to make new

words, changing one word into the other in as few steps as possible. Eg: TEAM to GAME:

TEAM

TEALTELL

TALL Team with the fewest steps in their ladder wins.

TALE

TAME Boggle-Slam cards can be played instead.

GAME

Chain Letters. The same as Word Ladder except Ss are only given one four-letter word

and they have to make the longest chain they can. Ss may not change same letter on

consecutive turns, eg: changing HALL to CALL cant be followed by CALL to BALL.

Lucky Ladders. Ss win points by working out words on the Lucky Ladder. The top wordand bottom word are given but they have to work out the rest. There must be a connection

between the words on the ladder, not necessarily common throughout the whole ladder -

just an association between connecting words, for example: POLISH - FRENCH - CHALK

- CALCIUM - TEETH - SAW - LOOK - STARE

Sort your Vowels out. Classes of 10 or 15. 5 in a group: each S has a vowel (Post-it note

or S can hold up a piece of paper with the Vowel written on it). T says a word (with no

duplicated vowels) and the Ss must arrange themselves in order. First team to complete it

correctly wins.
