A Game for Building Vocabulary and Conversation
In this game, the class is usually divided into groups that will compete with each other to create a vocabulary list. The groups are given a card with a topic. The objective is to come up with vocabulary that is relevant to the topic within a given time limit. When time is up, they compare lists. When a group has a word that no other group has, they score a point. The tension increases as cards are compared one-by-one. Inevitably new words are discovered, words are challenged, and there is conversation/discussion.
