"Word by word" in year 6 25.01.13

On Friday I put in practice a very funny game with year 6: Word by word. Last year at university, the English teacher showed us this game to play with kids and told us that it was very useful to consolidate new vocabulary. For that reason, I used this resource in most of my lessons as a teacher, both with pictures for young learners and with definitions for the older students. 

During the week, I had been teaching job's vocabulary in year 6 so I wrote some professions' definitions in every letter in order to make them remember the new words. I decided that they worked in groups so I divided the class into four groups with a speaker in each one. If they knew the answer, they just raised the hand and said the correct word.

I think that games are very useful to motivate children to learn a new language and in case of "word by word", it's appropriate for all ages students. I saw the kids enjoying the game so I want to prepare more games for my future lessons.
