Vocabulary Revision Games & Activities for kids and adults! ESL - By Tasnim Salah

Transcript


00:11	mm mm . We teach our students knew english words
00:31	like in every class and at the end of the
00:34	course or the semester , most of the students of
00:37	course not all of them . Unfortunately forget these new
00:41	terms . So today I'm going to share four fun
00:45	, easy to do activities to review new vocabulary words
00:48	with your E . S . L . Students and
00:51	make them stick forever . I mean hopefully I'd love
00:54	to tell you that this is a collab video with
00:57	the awesome the language ladies . So don't forget to
01:00	check her vocabulary activities video as well . Link is
01:03	in the description below . Let's go , I don't
01:06	know the name of this activity but let's call it
01:08	the line and this activity you have to prepare .
01:12	Nothing . All you gotta do is divide your class
01:16	. No matter how big or small into two groups
01:19	ask the students to stand in two lines facing the
01:22	board on the board , you'll draw line and on
01:25	top of that line , right these three rules with
01:28	that explaining anything lesson related , three points not related
01:33	to points misspelled minus point . I like to give
01:37	the students a couple of minutes . Let them try
01:40	to guess what the game is and then I fully
01:44	exposed my game . So you tell them the first
01:46	students standing on the line , right ? A word
01:49	on the board . Let's say they wrote banana .
01:51	Then they hand the pen to the students standing right
01:55	after them and go to the back of the line
01:57	. The second student must write a new word that
01:59	ends with the last letter of the previous word .
02:02	I think you get it right now let's say they
02:04	wrote airplane . The second student gives the pen to
02:08	the third and the third to the fourth and so
02:10	on until the end of the line . If your
02:12	classes small , I set a timer so students have
02:16	to keep writing words still . For example , two
02:18	minutes are over . Let's get back to the rules
02:21	. Remember this is a review activity . So obviously
02:24	we have to review some words . Right ? So
02:27	let's say the lesson was about food . If students
02:30	right , food related words , they get three points
02:33	for every word . But if they write words that
02:35	are not food related , they get two points and
02:38	the third rule is pretty obvious if they must spell
02:41	the word , they lose a point . Because yes
02:45	, we're reviewing vocab but also we want to make
02:47	sure they remember how to write these new vocabulary words
02:52	. You can replace food within the lesson , you're
02:55	teaching like clothes , transportation , furniture , pretty much
02:59	anything . So here we are encouraging the students to
03:02	squeeze their brains to remember the words they've taken and
03:07	they're doing it while having fun away from their chairs
03:10	and books , working as a team because at one
03:13	point or another they gotta help each other . At
03:16	the end of the game you have a little math
03:18	class counting the points and the line with the more
03:21	points wins . What do they win ? It's up
03:25	to you . Activity two is pictionary . It's very
03:30	popular game and I love it so much and I
03:33	thought let's make it even more popular here . You
03:36	have to do one thing only which is writing all
03:39	new words that you've already taken on cards and spread
03:42	them facing down on the table . So here we're
03:45	having one category only as an example let's say being
03:49	said , I love to add some saucepans . So
03:52	I include a couple of cards that say lucky ,
03:55	which means you get a point without even trying another
03:59	one with unlucky And here the elusive point also without
04:04	trying , I usually divide the class into two teams
04:09	. But if it was a large class then three
04:12	or four groups . A student from the first team
04:15	will pick a card and they have 20 seconds to
04:18	draw the word on the card . If the first
04:20	team gets the word before time is up , they
04:23	get a point and team stick turns till we finish
04:26	reviewing all the words we want them to remember .
04:29	This game is hilarious because not all students are born
04:34	artists and they'll laugh at their drawings . They'll get
04:38	really upset if they get the unlucky card and they'll
04:41	try hard is so fun . I'm going to call
04:45	the third activity . Close your books or turn down
04:49	your papers if your listeners on papers like the first
04:52	activity , all you gotta do is nothing . I
04:55	know you now think that I'm a lazy teacher which
04:58	is a true , but that's a different story .
05:01	Let's get back to the game , let's say you
05:03	have this lesson about occupations and you explain all of
05:07	these different jobs and their meanings and now you think
05:11	oh I'm going to make sure students just won't forget
05:13	them to make this happen , divide the class into
05:16	as many groups as you wish . Tell them to
05:19	have one final look at all these occupations and then
05:22	ask them to close their books with some groups .
05:25	I asked them to even put their books down because
05:28	they sneak peek and this is not the point of
05:31	this activity after you make sure old books are closed
05:34	or even down . Tell them . I know you
05:37	guys got the strongest memory ever and I believe in
05:41	you therefore you have to two minutes to write down
05:45	all of the occupations that we've just learned first through
05:49	action is just dropping down , but after a couple
05:52	of seconds they start tracking their brains to remember all
05:56	of the new words . And because they've just learned
05:59	these words , it's going to be easier for them
06:01	to remember the words and harder to be forgetting .
06:05	Later on my last activity is string it or grab
06:09	it first . For this activity we need a table
06:12	bell or it's not available . Think of something .
06:15	Students can grab like a small ball or a yarn
06:19	or if you can't afford it , a piece of
06:22	candy or chocolate would be great . You'll prepare a
06:25	list of review questions , divide the class into two
06:29	teams to get all students engaged . Ask when student
06:32	of each team to come to your desk and face
06:34	their counterparts on the desk . Place your table bell
06:38	or your bowl or your chocolate . Tell them you'll
06:41	ask them a question and the student who knows the
06:43	answer must first rank the bell or grab the item
06:47	and then say the answer . If they get it
06:50	right there , team gets a point and if you're
06:52	going with the chocolate idea , then they just get
06:55	the chocolate and repeat the exact thing with the rest
06:58	of the students . Try to vary your questions .
07:00	My favorite is when I asked them to name three
07:03	things like name three appliances . We've just learned name
07:07	three types of shoes , name three pieces of furniture
07:10	. And sometimes after I've asked like four or five
07:13	questions from their book , I like to trick them
07:16	and ask them a very random not lesson related to
07:19	question . Like what did you have for dinner yesterday
07:22	? Where what's your best friend's name ? Something like
07:25	that . That's pretty good . I hope you find
07:29	these lazy teacher vibe activities useful and make sure to
07:34	check the language lady channel for more amazing DSL videos
07:38	. Thank you Doctor harmful for this lovely collapse .
07:41	Thank you for always looking for ways to make your
07:44	class is awesome and thank you for your time .
07:50	Mhm . Mhm .
