Assalamualaikum and Hi..This activity will helps the pupils to remember a
range of important English verbs with this fun classroom activity where they
attempt to guess the actions performed by their own classmates.
The game plays like a simple
version of charades where a student receives a secret word and tries to act it
out to the other members of the team.
Before you start you'll need to make small pieces of paper with a
range of secret words written on them.
You can use any type of words you want
but I find verbs are best for this type of game so that's what I'll be using in
this example.
To make the game interesting you
can have easy words (worth 1 point), medium words (worth 2 points) and hard
words (worth 3 points).
Here are some examples of words I
use:
Easy (1 point): Eating, sleeping,
running, singing, flying, cleaning
Medium (2 points): Laughing,
studying, looking, throwing, talking, cooking
Hard (3 points): Thinking,
pointing, lifting, climbing, opening
Split the class into teams and
ask a student to choose easy, medium or hard.
Give them around 20 seconds to
act out the word in front of their group (while other teams stay quiet).
Continue the process with the other teams while keeping track of the scores and
see who wins!
You might like to let other teams
guess the word if the original team are unsuccessful in their 20 seconds, giving
them the chance to earn extra points.
Let's try teacher..=)
