"Word by word" in year 4 30.01.13

Last week I put in practice the game "word by word" with year 6 students. To play this game I wrote some definitions in every letter of the alphabet and kids had to guess the word. Because it was a very successful game and students enjoyed a lot playing, I decided to prepare the same game for year 4 pupils. As I said in the previous entrance, for young learners is easier not to write definitions but just put images in every letter.

Now I'm going to talk about the development of the game. As I did in year 6, I divided the class into four teams and they had to raise the hand to answer. In the case of year four, I have followed the order of the groups to let them say the words, so the game has been better organised than last week. If a group didn't know the word the next team could answer. 

I have also managed the class better than the other day because I have stopped the game every time there was some noise and kids were distracted. Finally they have been very concentrated and they have participated actively in the activity.
