"Games are an extremely effective way ofmotivating students in a classroom. Language
teachers throughout h i:story have interspersed their grammar or course material with what often
seem like lighthearted games, but they do actually touch the language directly and are
challenging. And, most importantly perhaps, games are fun!"
(Word Games with English, 1994, page v)
Hay theo Petre Watcyn-Jones (Vocabulary Games and Activities for Teachers, 1993),

UNIT2
Activity: group work: reading & speaking
Aim: to match verbs and nouns that usually go together.
Grammar & Functions:

+ adverbs of frequency: always, usually, often, etc.
Vocabulary:

Preparation: Make copies of one set of 30 dominos for each group of students.
Time: 20 to 25 minutes
Procedure:
I. Students work in group of three or five. Give one set of dominoes to each group, and ask
them to share them out equally.
2. One student places a domino in front of the other students, and the other students have to
make a complete sentence by placing one of his I her dominoes at either end of the first
domino. After that, they have to read aloud the complete sentence so that the others see if the

make sense.
3. If a student thinks his I her partner's sentence is not grammatically correct or does not make
sense, the teacher can adjudicates. If the sentence is incorrect, the student must take back the
domino, and miss a turn.
4. If a student cannot make a sentence, the turn passes to his I her next partner.
5. The game continues until one student has used all his I her dominoes, or until neither
student can make a correct sentence. The student who finishes first, or has the fewest dominoes
remaining, is the winner.

· ·questions from the role cards.
Grammar & Functions:
+ present simple: has got
+ questions with present simple
Vocabulary:
Office equipment & facilities: lift, air conditioning, coffee machine ...
Preparation: Make one worksheet per student; one role card per student.
Time: 10 to 15 minutes
Procedure:
1. Give each student a role card in random order, and allow them time to read the information on
the card. They are not allowed to look at one another's cards. (Ifthere are more than ten students,
the cards can be duplicated without affecting the outcome of the activity.)
2. Supply the students with 'getting to know you' language if necessary: Hello, what's your
name? I My name's .... I Nice to meet you. You too. I Where are you from? I'm from .. ./ Are
you married? No, I'm single/ What's your job? I'm a ....
3. Give each student a copy of the worksheet. Tell the class that the line at the beginning of each
sentence corresponds to a person's name.
4. Students move around the room and have short conversations with one another in order to find
out whose office has the items listed on the worksheet. Encourage students to introduce
themselves to start the conversation and use 'getting to know you' questions, rather than just the
questions required to complete the worksheet. When students find someone who has got a
particular item, they write his I her name in the appropriate place on the worksheet. It is a good
idea to do an example with them on the board first.
5. Finally, students check their answers in pairs or with the whole class.
