Thanks Ann :)
DeleteGreat post! Some original new ideas combined with old ideas polished up and used in new ways.
ReplyDeleteI will share your post with my teachers on an INSET course on vocabulary teaching and learning I am giving this year.

Hi Leo,
DeleteSorry for not replying earlier. I'm glad you found the post useful and I feel quite flattered you decided to choose this post for the INSET course you're giving. How did it go by the way? Where do you teach?

ReplyDeleteLoved it! I´ll definitely start trying some of them this week!
One thing I sometimes do with my students is to play hangman. I start by reading the definition of the word so as to give them a clue for the word they need to form. What I like about this game is that it also gives them the opportunity to revise their spelling.
Another game I´d love to try is bingo. I´d write some words I want to recycle instead of numbers and "sing" the definitions.
Hi Petsie,
DeleteThanks for your comment. I'm glad you found the ideas helpful.
I like playing hangman as well. It's usually quite fun. I've done bingo as well but never tried singing the definitions. Do you get the students to do it?

Hi Azizul,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment and sorry for not getting back to you earlier.
We were talking here about recycling, i.e. revising, vocabulary in class, but I do agree with you that recycling rubbish is a very important issue.
Best,
Thank you for the consolidated ideas. I'll be sharing this with my pre/in-service students.
ReplyDeleteHi Adam,
DeleteThanks! I'm glad you liked the ideas here. Good luck using them with your students!
Cheers,
This is an amazing site. Thank you so much. I really like the student led Taboo. Students always come up with creative ways to describe things that I never would have came up with!
ReplyDeleteHi John,
DeleteThanks a lot!
I agree. And it puts the pressure off you as well. Let them do the difficult work! ;)
