I use this with functional English Students, however this could easily be adapted to suit many different situations. when I deliver this the boards are laminated to allow learners to use dry wipe markers on the board.
I usually get them to work in small teams to encourage healthy competition they love it.
I ask them to describe what each word is/means and write the answers down on paper e.g. a VERB is a doing word. With each correct answer I allow them to use that particular word in the scrabble board. Each correct phrase awards them more words to use and hence a higher score, the team with the highest score overall wins
This can be adapted for many different activities for example some learners I was working with on a motor vehicle programme had to name what the car parts did as well as the words for functional English. I have provided a Microsoft word example and a PDF for ease of use
Great for lots of different age groups, can confirm understanding
I would really appreciate feedback on this resource
