Game Features

• Multiple ways to play (see screenshot 2) and play as many rounds as you want
• Great way to review vocabulary in addition to target language
• Two different chart templates included in the PowerPoint: 5x5 and 6x4
• Game worksheet and editable teacher’s script provided in the downloadable file

How to Play

• Students play individually.
• The teacher will say a certain word/sentence using white boxes from the left and top sides of a chart.
• Students must listen carefully and write down the letter where the two boxes intersect.
• This process repeats until all letters for the word are written down. They will be scrambled.
• After the teacher checks that students wrote down all the correct letters, the students try to unscramble the word and write it down once they figure it out.
• The teacher will then reveal the answer and the game starts again with then next word. (For my classes, when a student knows the answer, I usually have them quietly put their hands on their head. Then, when I see a good number of students with hands on their head or time is up, I then reveal the answer.)

Variations

• Depending on what information you put in the white boxes, they can be used to say vocabulary words, a sentence, or even a short dialogue (see screenshot 2 above for examples).
