Do you have any ideas how to use word chains to teach vocabulary?. Is it a game or an activity for presenting vocabulary?

Thanks in advance

I´ve used chain games with different vocabulary.

Here �s an example:

Furniture around the house.

You begin the game. Say "In my living room there �s a sofa."

Then choose a student to continue. the ss must repeat your sentence and add one more piece of furniture.

SS 1: "In my living room there �s a sofa and a chair."

SS 2: "In my living room there �s a sofa, a chair, and a rug."

SS3: "In my living room there �s a sofa , a chair, a rug, and a lamp..... "

And so on, and so on.

I sit my students in a circle that way when all the sstudents have said a sentence SS 1 repeats evrething and adds another object.

the student that can �t remember the order of the objects loses. The last SS standing wins the game.
