Words Pertise

Language Focus: Vocabulary, Pronunciation, Writing and Structure (verbs) building
Usage Level: Level 3 - 5
Notes:
This is the combination of three skills in one game that can be introduced at once. The students will explore more on imagining how the words look like, knowing the letters that made up the words and say the correct pronunciation of the words. Plus to have the competition will make it merrier to be the best team.

Materials:
1. List of words and or flashcards in several setting and theme (kitchen, bathroom, dining room, fruit, animals, sports, etc)
2. blank sheets of paper
3. whiteboard along with the board marker
Method:
Step 1
The teacher may start with dividing the students into 2 groups of whatever number as you can possibly build. The students of each group make 2 lines facing the whiteboard. The teacher, then, stands in front, in the middle of the two groups. The game is started right after the teacher say or shows (in flashcards) the word that has to be written by the first member of each group without peeking. The game continues when the teacher say the other words for the other members of the group to be written on the whiteboard, taking turns.
After finishing the writing session, now the teacher offers extra points by having the pronunciation session. Each member of the two groups must say the words in correct pronunciation. There are extra bonuses for those who can pronounce the words correctly.

Step 2
There are two groups competing to be the winner in guessing the words from the mime expression, and then they say and write the words.
One representative from each group in turns doing mime, giving the clues to be guessed by other members according to the list of words given by the teacher. The winner is the group which can guess, write and say the abundant of words in exact forms.
