This House Vocabulary Game is a particular favourite with both native English speakers and students learning English. In my experience, young students become very keen and enthusiastic about being the first to complete their base cards with the appropriate items belonging to their particular part of the house. Older students at the initial / emergent stage of learning English would also benefit from using this resource. There are opportunities for speaking, listening and reading.
The game is for 2 – 6 players and is easy to play. Each player is given a base board. The small cards are placed in the middle of the table face down. Players take turns at lifting a card, naming the item then placing it on their base board if it belongs in their part of the house. If it doesn’t, the player then replaces the card in the centre of the table face down. The winner is the first to complete his / her card. Luck and memory are involved in success so the winner isn’t always the most able student. This could be one reason for this type of game being so popular.
The base boards and cards have colour coordinated borders to aid with identification. The house scenes and items used are listed below.
Kitchen
kettle, cooker, sink, cooker, fridge, vacuum, iron, ironing board, washing machine
Living Room
coffee table, settee, lamp, armchair, rug, television, plant, clock, bookshelves
Bathroom
toilet, basin, bath, shower, toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, shampoo
Bedroom
bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, dressing table, mirror, alarm clock, lamp, bunk
beds, cot
Garden
lawnmower, tree, watering can, spade, gloves, wheelbarrow, rake, bucket, fork
Garage
tool box, gardening tools, paint pots, bicycle, broom, workbench, car, oilcan, tyre
Included with this game are picture and word cards for learning the vocabulary used in the game. The cards can be used as a snap game (saying the names of items and reading the words as they are placed on the table) or as an individual or group matching activity
Game (2-6 players)
The aim of the game is to get the most sets of verbs. (A set consists of the present, past and past participle of one verb.)
Mix the cards. Each player is dealt 9 cards and the remaining cards are placed face down in a pile in the middle of the table. The top card is turned face up and placed beside the pile on the table.
Players look at their cards. If they have a set, they place that on the table. (This counts as 1 point) The player(s) then draw cards to make up 9 cards in their hands.
The person on the left of the dealer starts, he/she can either pick the card that is turned over or take the top card. He/She then has to discard, so that he he/she always has 9 cards. If the player can make a set of 3 cards, he places the set on the table.(As soon as a player thinks he/she has a set, it is suggested that players show their sets to other players to ensure that the set has the correct verbs.)
He/she must then draw cards from the pile to maintain 9 in his/her hand. Continue play until the pack on the table has been used. Then turn the pack over and start using the cards again. When all cards have been used from the table, players then take turns to select an unseen card from the player on their left. This continues until all sets of verbs has been made. The winner is the player with the most points or sets.
These cards provide fun ways for EAL/ESL/ELL/ EFL students to learn / reinforce the correct form of irregular verbs. The preview provides ideas for games and use. In game 2, there is a choice of the winning card suitable for use with a wide age range. They are , a trophy, a chequered flag, a young boy, spider man, superman, batman, a bottle of champagne and a glass of beer. The last two have been included for use with adults.
These games are suitable for use with all students.
