It is a good idea to use intellectual games at the revision lessons. Using
them you may revise the material develop listening, grammar and vocabulary
skills; stimulate pupils’ interest towards English. I usually use these games at
the end of the terms or the year, during the English week. Before the game it is
necessary to divide the pupils into two teams. There is a table on the
blackboard where they may see four themes for the game: English speaking
countries, I like grammar, I know English words, I am an interpreter. Each theme
has four questions (picture 1). The first team (to determine a priority the
teacher may use English riddles) chooses a theme and a question. Both teams
receive the cards with the task. They prepare simultaneously. The first team
answers the question and gets points. The second team has a chance to get
additional points if the first one fails. The team with the most points is the
winner.
This particular game is done for the 6 form, course book:” New Millennium
English 6”.
This is a map of the game (for the teacher).
