(0)
Popular and enjoyable lesson starter which embeds English and Maths. PowerPoint containing a lesson starter word game. The game contains two lists, each of which can be spun on clicking the relevant button. One list contains different categories such as “Animals” or “Countries”, the other contains rules such as “Starts with A” or “Has a T in it”. Spin the cards. The learner to think of a correct word gets a point. That learner then chooses which colour card to spin next—green or blue. If learners are stuck, the group chooses which colour to spin again. Learners should keep a tally of points won, in order to add these up at the end. The winner is the learner with the most points when the game ends. Embeds English through reading, coming up with words and speaking and listening. Embeds Maths through counting, keeping a tally and adding up scores at the end.
