Vocabulary Lists
|
Dear Teachers
I need you advice. You all know the vocabulary lists at the end of your textsbooks. Students learn the new words with them and, at the end of each unit, we go through the list in class to make sure they understand all the words. Do you know any fun way to do that? Something that keeps them interested.
I �d really appreciate your help since I �m out of ideas. 
Cheers
Amandina

You can make cards with all the words and translation into your own language and ask them in turns. If they fail, they have to wait without participating until the first game is over. You can repeat it as many times as you consider necessary, asking them to pronounce the words better and better.
Hope it helps

I use a board game with dice and index cards. I write a word on one side then the definition on the other. Students pick the the card and read the word, give the defintion and check the back of the card to see if they are correct, if so they get to throw the dice and move the number indicated. It can also be played by having the definitions facing up and the student has to come up with the word and then he/she checks the other side of the card. There are many suitable board games available right here. |

Try these:
- wordsearches
- jumbled words
- words with missing letters (vowels for example)
- memory game
- bingo
- matching exercises (picture+word; word+translation...)
- picture dictionary (if possible)
