Efl guess What! Teacher's Book 6 Grade 6

Correct my mistakes 
Make incorrect sentences for students to correct with 
information from the reading texts or events from the story
. 
Nominate individual students to correct the sentences or 
play it as a team game with a time limit and points.
Definitions 
Define words for students to guess, e.g., for 
dumplings
in 
Unit 
3
, you could say 
They’re from China. They’re a little 
like pasta. They have meat inside. 
You can just give the 
definitions or write anagrams or letter blanks on the board 
to help students guess.
Describe and draw
Students draw three or four items or one large picture, e.g., 
in the opening unit, Seasons and weather, they draw a 
landscape with different features in it, such as a farm, some 
horses, and two people. They then work in pairs, without 
showing their drawing to their partner. Students take turns 
describing what they’ve drawn, e.g., 
There’s a farm on the 
left. There are two horses. There are two people: a man 
and a woman. They’re next to a tractor on the right.
Their 
partner listens and draws the same picture(s) on another 
piece of paper. They then compare their drawings to check, 
commenting on any mistakes, e.g., 
No. The horses aren’t 
next to the tractor. The people are next to the tractor.
Describe and guess 
Play this game with objects (or pictures). Display them at 
the front or around the classroom. Ask two students to 
come to the front of the class. Then describe one of the 
objects
. 
The two students try to find and point to it first. 
Drawing game 
Choose a vocabulary item students know. Draw a picture 
on the board, line by line, pausing to ask each time 
What 
am I drawing? Can you guess? 
Students try to guess what 
the picture is before you’ve finished it. 
Elimination 
This is a good way of practicing negative sentences. Use five 
word cards and attach them to the board. Then think of one 
card and make sentences so students guess which one it is 
by a process of elimination, e.g., in Unit 4 with instruments: 
You don’t blow it. You don’t hit it. It doesn’t have six strings. 
You don’t need electricity. What is it? 
(
Violin.
)
Find a partner 
Students write something (as suggested in the teaching 
notes, according to the topic of the unit). Then they have 
to stand up and walk around the class to find someone 
who has written the same thing. They do this by asking 
questions. When they find a partner, they sit down. In 
a large class, you may prefer to allow just one or two 
students at a time to stand up and ask other students at 
their desks.
