Flashcards ( many things to do with them), mimes, objects representing the words or eluding to it (ex: a ruler to symbolize Maths)... If you tell us the age of your puppils and the vocabulary, I could see if I �ve got material for you. |

Hi isabella ,
They are over 12 years old pupils.As for the vocabulary area,it encompasses wide range of vocabulary with limited number of words -50 at most-.but here I am trying to imply the difficulty of teaching some unrelated vocabulary to kids like readings and worksheets..
Thanks

A crossword could it. Or you can try by making a jeopardy. |

Hello, My studets who are over 11 like team games in both gramar and vocabulary! They always fancy to play because they unite them, they acquire a lot through these games. Try and see the results!!! Cheers, Didar |

Game: Objective is to gain the most points. Presentation technique: Introduce vocabulary in small groups. Each small group gets 5 words (for example). They have 5 definitions that accompany on separate pieces of paper and must work together to guess which words they think match up with the definitions. Groups are competing for the most correct guesses.The correct answers are revealed to each small group (remember each group has different words). Practice: The groups spend some time trying to remember each of the 5 word definition. A good technique for this would have them spend time helping each other guess the word by reading out the definition to each other (and extension activity can be to have them try and rephrase the definitions and have their partners guess them). Practice plus: Students then exchange word groups with another group. They take turns reading the words to the opposite group. Groups must give correct definitions for the words on paper (to be checked by you) in order to get a point. (Do not reveal the definitions to the group reading out the words, because they will work with those words next.) ¤¤The game will become competitive because of the points being given. (If points aren �t enough, give an incentive like for each word they get correctly, they don �t have it as homework). Performance: As a final test of their skills (before doing the reading assignment) you can play Jeopardy as lidoca said. It is always a hit with young adults. Keep them in their groups and allow it to be an extra way to score points. Setting this up without multimedia should be simple enough. Just write the words on the back of index cards or paper and tape them up on a board with points (according to difficulty) on the outer side of the card. Hope you like it! |
