Begin by tossing the ball at a student. That student will shout a word related to the theme and throw the ball to another student. As each person catches the ball, they need to come up with another word that fits the theme.
This makes the game much more difficult, since students cannot think of a word until they know what their theme is. Most English speakers are familiar with Pictionary , the drawing game. You can use the cards from the actual board game to create a classroom activity that will thrill your students.
This is a good, high action game that students really get into. Chalkboard Pictionary. Divide the class into two teams and create a small column for each team on one side of the board. Have one person from Team A come up to the front. Have the student draw a card try using Pictionary Junior cards if the adult ones are too advanced for your class. Alternatively, you can write words on slips of paper for students to choose.
The student must convey the word to his or her team using only drawings. Students cannot use words, symbols or hand gestures. Limit the time to three minutes maximum. Each correct word is a point and the first team to get 10 points is the winning team.

This is a great game for those days when your class is dragging and people are falling asleep. Get them up and get them moving! Write down words on slips of paper for students to choose. Verbs are likely to be the easiest, but you can also use more complicated words, provided you are sure most of the students know them. When the teacher says the word, the chosen student from each team has to run to the front and find the correct card with the word on from the pile.
Once they have brought it back to the group both teams will then switch the active player. This is repeated until all of the cards have been captured. The team with the most at the end wins. To make this harder, instead of the teacher saying the word you could show a picture on a screen or hold up an object. This forces the students to use the vocabulary and understand what it means. Hangman takes a little bit of explaining but… once your students understand it then they will love it!
They take turns guessing a letter each. The students need to guess what this word is before the picture of the hangman is complete. If they guess it correctly before the hangman is complete then they win, if not then they lose. If you want to include the students further then whoever wins the round can have a turn at drawing the hangman in the next round. This game is fun regardless of age, group size or ability as difficulty can be altered by using harder or easier vocabulary.
For this game, you will need either a board and projector or some realia. First of all, make a line of chairs with the students sat down facing the teacher. To add a competitive angle to this you can have the ones who get it wrong lose the game and leave the round, repeat this until there is a winner. This game is ideal for children, they love getting involved and moving around. It is a great way to win pre-schoolers back if you find you have lost their attention part way through a class.
The idea of this game is to get the students to spell a word out one letter at a time, each student takes it in turns saying each letter though which is what makes it difficult. To begin, you first need to arrange the students in a circle either seated or standing. You will also need a ball. This continues until the word is complete. Again, like with the other games you could do a knockout rule where if a student gets the wrong letter then they are out of that round repeat until there is a clear winner.
This game is best suited to children, they will enjoy using a ball to interact with. It is also more suited to beginner levels especially when learning how to spell. Keep this one away from adults or advanced students unless you want to hear some patronized groans! Great fun with children and adults alike. The difference here is that we are now drawing instead of describing.
Obviously we will need something to draw with for this. Once you have a chosen student, tell them the chosen word without anyone else hearing , they then have to draw it.
The other students have to guess and the first one to get it right can then have their turn. Keep going until everyone has played at least once. These take a little longer to prepare but when it comes to actually playing, they are as easy as they come. Inside each square is a letter. At first glance, it will appear as if you are staring at a giant mess of random letters.
However, there are words hidden inside this mess that must be found. Although this game could, in theory, be done in groups, it is one that is better suited towards individual students. The great thing about a word search is that they are very easy to play. Even if you use advanced vocabulary, the ability to look for a word is still the same so this game is suitable for students of all levels.
With synonyms, the point is to give a student a word, and they have to give you a synonym for that word in return. For this, you will need to do some research and make sure you know some synonyms for the TL of that lesson. A very basic idea, but we have a lot of room to work with this. Here are some things we can change:. This game is dependant on the students having at least a medium-size vocabulary so I would advise sticking to medium to advanced level students.
Also, while this game is fun to an extent, it is more so for adults.
