2 Letters to Start With - AC, CA, DI, ST - ESL game
“2 Letters to Start With” is a dynamic and engaging ESL activity designed to enhance vocabulary and spelling. Perfect for both group and individual play, this versatile resource is ideal for classrooms or tutoring sessions. 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.
Definition Challenge: If students exhaust their words, the teacher provides a definition of a word related to the starting letters from the sheet. Students must guess the word.
Game Framework: The activity can be structured as a competitive game with multiple rounds, allowing students to accumulate points. The challenge intensifies with each round, particularly for higher-level learners, making the game even more enjoyable. You can also incorporate various pairs of starting letters within a single session to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
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.
Higher-Level Excitement: As students reach higher proficiency levels, the game becomes more fun and challenging, fostering a spirited atmosphere in the classroom.
Flexible Gameplay: This resource can be adapted for different proficiency levels and classroom settings, making it suitable for all learners.

Words within - Months ///ESL game

Words Within is a fun, engaging vocabulary game designed to challenge students while helping them enhance their word-building skills.
It contains 10 months (June and July aren’t the best for this game and it is more or less time for summer vacation anyway :) ).

At the end of each round, a score sheet shows the student’s level based on how many words they’ve discovered. The game varies in difficulty based on the name of the month. Some months feature more words, while others are trickier, offering a dynamic and adaptable activity that works well as a warm-up, a break, or to use up any remaining class time.
