Game: 3 – 4 students are chosen to stand at the front of the room. Also, if you have more time, then you could create your own bingo boards with specific vocabulary or concepts you are covering in that lesson (reusable). Continue describing different words until one student successfully completes their grid and shouts ‘bingo!’ (you can also award a prize to the first student who gets 3 in a row).Īlternative: Students can insert their own subject-related answers into the bingo grid, but this makes it more challenging for you due to extensive word choice and ambiguity. You must then randomly select a word from the list to describe, and students must guess the word in order to cross it off on their grid (if present). Game: Ask students to draw a 6 x 6 grid on their whiteboards or pieces of paper then select 6 words or images from the given list to draw/write in their grid.

Resources: whiteboards and pen or paper and pen/pencils, plus a list of subject-specific terms or concepts e.g. numbers, phonics, key vocabulary, scientific formulae, or historical figures. This fun game will encourage your students to think ‘outside-the-box’ and draw on a range of subject knowledge. The game then repeats with another student thinking of a relevant word.Īlternative: If you feel a hangman would not be appropriate then use a different image – either subject-specific or think creatively e.g. The first team to guess the word wins, unless the hangman is completed. Incorrect guesses result in a hangman being drawn (one line at a time). The rest of the class then guesses the word, one letter at a time (allow one student from each team to guess alternately). The student must then draw spaces on the whiteboard to represent each letter in their word. Game: Divide your class into two teams then select a student to stand at the front of the class and think of a word related to the lesson (or you could give them a suitable word). Resources: whiteboard and pen or interactive whiteboard, plus a list of subject-specific words to inspire your students.
