IDIOMS AND USEFUL PHRASES GAME


A lesson plan for ESL teachers.

I believe that students learn so much faster when they compete, play and generally have fun. I also believe that students remember vocabulary and grammar much better when they see it in a context or a picture. These videos are perfect to conduct a picture quiz and learn new words and structures at the same time. How? It's very simple.

1. Divide your students into two competing teams.
2. Explain the rules of the game to your students and tell them to remember not only the idioms but also their definitions and the texts in speech bubbles.
2. Students from the first team must guess the meaning of the idiom presented in the first picture.
If they guess it correctly, they get a point and the other team has to guess the meaning of next idiom.
3. If students can't guess the meaning of an idiom, they get no points and the other team must guess it.
4. The second part or the video is a revision of the whole material. Students get one point for completing the texts in speech bubbles and one point for completing each definition. 

*****After the game, you may conduct a speaking activity. Students work in pairs. One student sits back to the screen and the other student must describe the picture from the screen. The student sitting back to the screen must guess the idiom. After 10 pictures students swap seats.  

Hope it will be fun!!!
 Let me know how it went!!!
