Efl guess What! Teacher's Book 6 Grade 6

Stand in order
 
Use any set of word cards. Distribute these to students in 
the class and then ask these students to come to the front. 
Say the words in a random order. Students with the cards 
have to arrange themselves in the correct order.

Starting letters 
Divide the class into teams. Write a word on the board, 
e.g., 
flute
. Students have to think of an English word that 
begins with each letter in the word, e.g., 
fantastic, loud, 
under, trombone, easy
. The first team to think of all their 
words raises their hands, reads them aloud, and spells 
them. They get a point for each word that other teams or 
groups haven’t written down. 
Ten lives 
Choose a word from a target vocabulary set, e.g., 
dumplings
. Write nine letter blanks on the board (one 
for each letter in 
dumplings
). Students guess the word by 
calling out letters. If they call out a correct letter, e.g., 
p
, 
say 
Yes
and write 
p
in the fourth letter blank. If they call 
out an incorrect letter, say 
No
, and students lose a life 
(mark this on the board as a strike). Students have to try to 
guess the word before they lose all their lives.
Test the teacher 
Students test your knowledge by asking you questions.
The questions can be about themselves, comprehension 
questions about a text, or general knowledge questions.
If you know the answer, you get a point. If you don’t know 
the answer, they get a point.
The last word 
Make sentences using the target vocabulary from the unit 
or say lines from the story, but stop before you say the last 
word each time. Students say the word. 
True or false? 
Make a variety of true and false statements about a picture, 
a text, students in the class, or world information that your 
students will know. Students listen and say 
True
or 
False
.
Two minutes
Write a category heading for words you want to 
brainstorm on the board. Divide the class into teams of 
five or six. Tell them to think of as many English words in 
the category as they can. Each team chooses someone to 
write for them. Set a time limit of two minutes (use a timer 
if you have one or say 
Stop writing!
after two minutes). 
Ask students to count how many items are on their list. 
Elicit the words from the team with the fewest items and 
write them on the board (or invite the student with the list 
to write them). The other teams cross off the ones they 
have on their lists. Elicit extra items from the other teams 
to see which team has the most words.
