Word games in teaching vocabulary
What word games do you use in your classroom?
How do you start?
I start with a word. One by one I go around the class and ask my
students to say another English word that they know. Start with word sorting
game. ( if a teacher say “ car” students should continue one by one “bus”, “train”
) Have you ever used “Boggle” board or game? This game helps students to
improve their creativity and logical thinking. It’s easy to display Boggle
board and involve your students to play with words. I just love this cute Boggle board :)

There are a lot of word games we can conduct in our classroom to help
students to memorize words and increase vocabulary:“Scrambled
word”, “ Odd word out”, “Crossword”, “ Family – words”, “ Magic pencil”,
“Hidden picture word game”,
“Word search”,
“Rhyming words- Rhyme Time”, “ Word building”, “Silent letter – shshshsh” and many
others.

word game
What do you think about word games that do not require special preparations. What are convenient and “right now” tools? I use bottle caps to prepare word games. They are useless after drinking content of the bottle but useful to write on them little “magic “words. Another “helpers” are matchers’ boxes that people drop away after emptying them. |
Matches “magic” words.
