The game becomes more exciting as students progress to higher proficiency levels since their vocabulary is more extensive.
How It Works:
Starting Letters: Each round begins with two provided letters. Participants (individuals or groups) take turns saying words that begin with these letters.
Scoring System: Points are awarded based on the complexity of the words (A2 = 1 point, B1 = 2 points, B2 = 3 points, C1 = 4 points and C2 = 5 points) or they can be based on word length as well. This strategic element adds excitement, especially for higher-level students, as they vie for the highest scores.

Adjustable: This material is versatile and can easily be integrated into your own game framework (such as Guns, Bombs, Angels, Blockbusters, The Longest Path, etc.). Feel free to customize it to your teaching style by allowing students to risk some of their points, implementing rotating spokespersons within groups, rolling a die to determine the category of the definition they’ll receive, enabling point-stealing between groups, and deciding whether questions are open to just one group or all.
Benefits:
Vocabulary Building: Students expand their vocabulary by creatively thinking of words that start with specific letters.
Critical Thinking: The definition guessing element encourages deeper comprehension and engagement with language.
