In your classes, students will have a valuable opportunity to pick up new vocabulary on a variety of topics. It is a good idea for you to encourage your students to revise this vocabulary on a regular basis in order for students to take 'ownership' of these words and to start to use them confidently.
Recording new vocabulary
If you feel that sufficient effort isn't being made to record new vocabulary it's well worth talking to your students and asking them how and where they record new words that come up in class. They may have a notebook where they write the new words or they may have no system in place. All students should be encouraged to make an effort recording vocabulary in an orderly way. Suggest to the class that they have a special vocabulary book. Depending on their preferences and learning styles the notebook can include pictures and mind maps. It doesn't have to be just a long list. Suggest to your class that they carry this book with them and use the time spent waiting for buses or sitting on trains to have a look through and test themselves. If you are learning their language and somehow recording new vocabulary you could bring in your notebook (or whatever you have to keep track of new words) and show them how you are making an effort to extend your own vocabulary.
The word bag
Apart from encouraging your students to keep an orderly vocab book of some sort, another way of having easy access to the words that have come up in your classes is to create a 'word bag' for each of your groups. All you need are two large envelopes and some strips of card. Write on one envelope 'Blank word cards' and 'Class Word Bag' on the other. Cut up lots of small strips of card and put them in the 'Blank Word Cards' envelope.

Every class, nominate a student to be in charge of the 'word bag'. He or she should be given the envelopes at the beginning of the class and is responsible for writing all the new vocabulary on separate blank word cards and putting them into the class word bag envelope. If this isn't practical for your group, you can be responsible for putting the words in the bag after each class. If you can keep the envelopes in the class you teach in, pinned on a cork board or in a safe place, it will be easier for you to keep track of the bag. After a few lessons you will have a good selection of words in the word bag.
Revision activities
Here are some activities for using the word bag to recycle the vocabulary. They can be used at the beginning of a class as a warmer or at the end to fill up the last five minutes.

Quick Fire Quiz - Pull out a bunch of words from the bag. Give clues or definitions so the students can guess the word on the card. The student who guesses the word correctly, wins the card. The winner is the student with the most cards at the end.

'Beep' sentences - Read a sentence incorporating the word on the word card. Instead of saying the word, say 'beep'. Students guess the missing word. When students get the idea, pass them the word bag, so they can create their own sentences.
Useful Links: http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/blogs/chrysapap/headlines-recycling-vocabulary-creatively http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/kids-vocabulary
Circle story - Give each student a word card. You start and begin to tell a story and use the word you have on your card. When you have used your word, the next student continues the story until they can incorporate their own word.

Team vocab tests - Divide the class into teams or pairs. Pull out a set number of words and using translation or clues give the teams a vocab test!

Pictionary - In two teams, use the word cards as prompts for a game of pictionary. Use the board or paper.

The more you use the word bag, the more uses you will find for it! I find that students feel a sense of security, knowing what vocabulary will be checked and they can also get a great sense of achievement when they feel confident using new words. Acquiring vocabulary takes a lot more effort for many students than we and they would like to believe. The word bag helps to avoid the feeling that new English vocabulary is a 'bottomless pit'! It can make the learning experience more tangible and achievable.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I've commonly found that although students are able to remember words and what they mean, they still have problems when they actually try to use the words in a sentence. This activity highlights the problem and helps to move students' knowledge of the word on to beyond what the word means.
Preparation
Collect together a list of words your students have learnt recently and some quick definitions of the word. Draw a large grid on the board. The size will depend on the number of students you have, but limit to a maximum of 20 as beyond this their concentration is likely to lapse.
Procedure

Read out one of the definitions and see if the students can remember the word. As students guess the words write them up on the board in one of the spaces on the grid. You can make this stage more competitive by putting students into groups and awarding points.

Keep reading out definitions and getting the students to guess the words until the grid is completely full of words. Then put the students into pairs or small groups and get each group to choose two of the words from the grid. Try to make sure that each group has different words and that as many of the words as possible from the grid are chosen.

Once the groups have chosen their words, tell them that they must write a single sentence that uses both words and that you will award points for the most interesting sentences. At this point it's better to focus them on the creativity rather than accuracy of the sentences.

Once all the groups have written their sentences you could either get a volunteer to write each sentence on the board, or read the sentences out. At this point you should award points for the sentences for their creativity and good use of the words.

Try to involve the class in voting for the sentences that they like the most and awarding points. You could even make this more fun by having number cards for you or the students to hold up giving marks out of ten.
Follow up

Once this is done you can then look at the sentences again to see how grammatically accurate they are and how appropriately the students have used the words. Particular things to look for are correct collocations and the appropriate degree of formality, etc.

Try to get the students to check each other's work and see if they can correct any errors. You may like to award extra points if they can find and correct errors in their peers' work.

Another approach to correction that I've tried is taking the sentences in and looking at them closely myself. Instead of correcting them though, I write up a list of collocations or grammar 'rules' that have been broken and then give them back the sentences along with the rules so that the students can find the errors and try to apply the rules themselves.

This is a variation on an activity that I first saw in a book called A Way with Words by Stuart Redman and Robert Ellis.

You can set this page as a homework task for a group of students; doing so will give you a record of who has completed the task. Visit the teacher's section for more information.

In the teacher's section you can also alter the sets of content, so that only some of the images appear. Additionally, you can get embed code to add this game to a blog or web page and you can create direct links to the game with content pre-selected. As an example, the link below will start the game with the jobs content automatically loaded.

Alternatively, this link will start the game with the food content automatically selected and loaded.

For a list of direct links like this click here.

Or use the teacher's section to create more links or embed code.

This is a simple game for learning basic English vocabulary. You drag the images to match the words and then click on the words to match the images.

The aim of this game is provide learners with a quick and easy way to practice or review vocabulary items. The game rapidly presents images, text and audio. In this way, there is a lot of repetition and reinforcement of vocabulary. It is hoped that by being simple and quick, it can be engaging and more interesting. If students can stay engaged with the game, then they will continue to get the presentation and repetition of vocabulary items. While it is less effective if students just guess all the responses, the user does need to click on the correct word/image to progress.

There are 2 parts to this game. In the first part, you are show sets of 3 or 4 images. You then have to click and drag these images to the matching words. When the image is moved to the correct word, it will stick there and the audio plays. Once you have matched 10 images, you proceed to the next part. In the second part, you are presented with a big image and you are required to click on the corresponding word from a set of 3 below. You keep on clicking until you get the right word and when you do, the audio is played. When you have done this for 10 items, you go back to the first part and then this repeats 2 or 3 times.

There are about 30 sets of content available to use and each set have about 25 items. The sets are grouped as follows:

Animals, Animals 2, Bathroom, Body, Buildings, Clothes, Clothes 2, Colors, Computer, Countries, Food, Food 2, Food 3, Garden, Home, Home 2, Hospital, Jobs, Jobs 2, Kitchen, Letters, Music, Nature, Numbers, Personal, Places, Sports, Stationery, Subjects, Things, Transport.

First play with the whole class and then try in groups (good for mixed ability groups).
Guess the word

This game is good for more abstract words.

Choose five words relating to recent conversational themes.

Write sets of clues to help students guess the words.

Example clues (word = freedom):

I am a noun but I am very important.

I begin with the letter 'f'.

People in prison have lost it and want it back.

People demand it when it is taken away by dictators.

It can be related to speech.

Coffee pot

This game is good for practising and reviewing action verbs and adverbs.

Ask one student to leave the room.

The rest of the class chooses a verb, e.g. type, ski, fly.

The student returns to the room and asks questions to guess the verb.

The missing verb can be substituted with 'coffee pot'.

Example questions:

Why do you coffee pot?

Where do you coffee pot?

Do you coffee pot by yourself?

Do you need any special equipment for coffee potting?

These activities first appeared on the British Council Language Assistant website.

Each row or team sends a representative to the blackboard. He/she chooses a coloured piece of chalk and they stand in a line. I write a letter and the first student must write a word beginning with that letter; the following student writes a word beginning with the last letter of the previous word:

For example: D Data Amount Tomato On Narrow What........

They should write the words so that they make a snake...
Datamountomatonarrowhat....
Time is limited, depending on the level of the class. After the time devoted has passed, and you haven't written a word, you pass your turn. If you pass your turn 3 times, you are replaced by another pupil in your row/team. Only two replacements are allowed. After that, the row/team is eliminated.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
First, split your class into different teams (two is best, but if you have a large class, any number could be used).

Sit the students facing the board.

Then take an empty chair - one for each team - and put it at the front of the class, facing the team members. These chairs are the 'hot seats'

Then get one member from each team to come up and sit in that chair, so they are facing their team-mates and have their back to the board.

As the teacher, have a list of vocabulary items that you want to use in this game.

Take the first word from that list and write it clearly on the board.

The aim of the game is for the students in the teams to describe that word, using synonyms, antonyms, definitions etc. to their team-mate who is in the hot seat - that person can't see the word!

The student in the hot seat listens to their team-mates and tries to guess the word.

The first hot seat student to say the word wins a point for their team.

Then change the students over, with a new member of each team taking their place in their team's hot seat.

Then write the next word...

This is a very lively activity and can be adapted to different class sizes. If you have many teams, perhaps some teams wait to play. Or if the team sizes are large, you can restrict how many team members do the describing. Have fun!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The teacher uses a vocabulary box. This box must mainly comprise of words on pieces of paper (either verbs, adjectives, adverbs etc.) all said by the learners themselves in previous lessons. Importantly a lot of words are required for this activity.
Procedure

The box with all the words is circulated around the class. Each learner is given a chance to pick a word from which he / she will have to construct a short and grammatical sentence.

Each sentence said is written on the board just as the speaker said it. After 12 to 20 sentences the sentences are analysed to see if they are grammatically correct with the emphasis placed mainly on the word from the vocabulary box.

Correction of the sentences can then be done and learners, again depending on time available, prompted to produce the correct sentences with the same word from the box.

It really gets learners talking while at the same time identifying their mistakes.

List of vocabulary games

From Pictionary to word scrambles to synonym memory, here is a list of fun word games to play in classrooms, at parties, or during meetings.

1. Vocabulary Pictionary

Pictionary is a game of charades where players draw words instead of acting them out.

To play:

You can give other teams the opportunity to steal, or move onto the next team's turn. The game is a great way to practice new vocabulary, as players connect the word with an image. Pictionary is a fun game for virtual parties or in-person affairs.

To play Pictionary online, draw on the whiteboard app feature on your online meeting software.

2. Word Association

Word Association is one of the best vocabulary games for kids and classrooms since playing does not require a large vocabulary. The rules are simple and easy to understand. Typically, the game involves two players.

To play:

1. Player one says a word.

2. Player two responds with the first word that comes to mind.

3. Player one either chooses a new word or responds to player two's word.

4. The game continues until one player repeats a word or pauses too long.

The rapid pace of the game generates excitement and occasionally results in funny answers.

If a student makes a mistake, then the teacher can pause the game and ask the student to explain or find a more fitting word. Ideally, gamemasters should allow players a few extra seconds to respond. Players should never feel embarrassed. There are no wrong answers in word association, but the game can serve as a learning opportunity to find better words.

If playing via Zoom, then player one or the teacher speaks a word, and other students answer in the chat. The class counts up matching answers and discusses different responses, guessing the reasoning behind each answer.

3. Vocabulary Hangman

Hangman is a classic chalkboard word game that translates easily to online play, thanks to digital whiteboards.

To play:

The best words to use for hangman contain less-used letters like z, x, and q. Examples of hard hangman words include zigzagging, razzmatazz, and quadrants.

4. Word search

Word searches are common classroom vocabulary games. These activities work well for handouts, and you can play during video calls by using the whiteboard feature and enabling annotation.

We made a sample word search you can use.

To make the game more competitive and exciting, turn the challenge into a race and award prizes to the first players to complete the puzzles.

5. Crossword

Crossword puzzles consist of a series of interconnecting boxes, each of which starts blank but contains one letter by the end of the game. Under the puzzle are two lists of clues, across and down respectively. Solvers need to consider the meaning of words, number of letters, and surrounding words, making the game strategic as well as literary.

Here is an example of a crossword puzzle you can use with your class or team.

Here is the answer key.

Crosswords are great word games for any age or skill level because puzzle makers can adjust the difficulty to suit players. To make your own crossword puzzle, use an online crossword creator.

6. Word Scramble

Word scrambles make great games for English class, and adults enjoy these language brain teasers as well. Simply mix up the order of the letters and ask players to unscramble and identify the original words.

Here is a sample to start with.

And here is the answer key.

To make your own word scrambles, use an online letter randomizer.

7. Scrabble

Scrabble is one of the most popular word games for adults or children. Players must use letter tiles to assemble words on the game board.

To play:

1. Each player draws seven letter tiles.

2. During turns, players can play tiles or exchange them for new letters.

3. Players build words on the board, with each new word connecting to an existing word.

4. Tiles have a point value assigned depending on the challenge of the letter. When a player makes a word, tally the letter and add the score to the point board.

More challenging letters have higher point values. For example, E is one point, while Z is ten. To find the point values for each tile and read more gameplay tips, check out this guide from Hasbro.

To coordinate the game for language lessons, assign higher scores for vocabulary words, and ask players to use the words in a sentence for extra points.

Scrabble is easy to play online, too, making it one of the best online vocabulary games. To play virtually, simply find a multiplayer online version of the game, such as Words With Friends.

8. Scattergories

Scattergories is one of the most fun and simple word games for adults. The game challenges players to think up words all starting with the same letter.

To play:

Alliterative phrases count for double or triple points. If two players have the same answer, then they must cross it out and neither receives points. Of course, a player will not receive points for blank answers either. At the end of each round, the player with the most points wins.

Here is a list of sample Scattergories categories:

A boy's name, girl's name, or gender neutral name

Capital cities

Four letter words

Types of drinks

Holidays

Careers or professions

Cartoon characters

Websites

Desserts

You could create more inventive categories for the game, or challenge players to make up prompts.

To play virtually, use the chat, screen-share, whiteboard functions in your virtual meeting platform. You can also share a Google Doc or Form, or join a multiplayer online Scattergories game together.

9. Tree or Bob Ross

Tree or Bob Ross is a fun video conference game that challenges players to guess a word by asking questions.

The player who conjures the word is The Post. The Post answers This or That questions whose answers help players narrow down the word.

The first question of the game is usually "is it more like a tree, or more like Bob Ross?" and The Post must answer accordingly. For instance, a rose is probably more like a tree, but Pinnochio presents an interesting challenge.

Each turn, the guesser adds a new word. For example, the second question might be, "is it more like a tree or a fern?" The game continues until players guess correctly. For more excitement, introduce a time limit, or award more points if players guess the word during earlier rounds.

10. Vocabulary Pyramid

Pyramid challenges players to guess words from context clues. The pyramid is a collection of six words, arranged with three on the bottom, two in the middle, and one at the top. To win, teams must guess all words within the pyramid in the allotted time.

To play:

When determining the time limit, consider the age of your players and the difficulty of the words. In general, 30 seconds per word, or three minutes total, is a good place to start, but add or take away time to increase or decrease the challenge.

11. Invisible Bridge

Invisible Bridge is similar to six degrees of Kevin Bacon. In both games, you must figure out a way to connect two seemingly distant concepts. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon uses actors, while Invisible Bridge uses words.

To play:

1. A player suggests two unrelated words.

2. Player one gives a number of planks. This is how many steps other players must use to relate the two words.

3. The other players think up words that share similar traits, synonyms, or connector words to move from one term to another.

An example round might look as follows:
Tiger, Astronaut, eight planks
Tiger - Balm - Lip - Service - Customer - Happy - Pills - Capsules - Space - Astronaut

Meanwhile, Tiger, Astronaut, two planks might look like this:

Tiger - meat eater - meteor - Astronaut

One fun aspect about this game is there can be more than one correct answer, and opposing teams can dispute far-reaches. Invisible bridge encourages players to think about the nature of language and the relationship between words.

12. Poetry Improv

Poetry Improv is an exercise that challenges participants to craft verses on the spot.

To play:

1. Pick a poetry style, such as sonnet, haiku, acrostic, limerick, or free verse.

2. Give participants vocabulary words to use within the poem.

3. Allow five or ten minutes for groups or individuals to complete the verses. If playing online via meeting software, then send groups to breakout rooms to work.

4. Ask poets to share the masterpieces aloud.

For extra fun, turn other players into judges by asking them to rate the poems by holding up scorecards. To make the game more fast-paced, ask players to finish each others' phrases on the spot for a true poetic improv.

13. Synonym Memory

The rules of Memory are easy: flip over two cards at a time and look for matching pictures or words. When players find pairs, they take the cards off the board. The player with the most pairs of cards at the end of the game wins.

Synonym Memory puts a challenging spin on the simple game. Instead of hunting for exact matches, players pair up words with synonyms.

Here are some sample matches:

enticing/tempting

assume/suppose

patience/restraint

revoke/rescind

impact/collision

The game encourages players to think in different ways, as participants will need to remember the location of the cards as well as consider meanings of words.

To play online, make your own virtual synonym memory game with an online tool and share screens to play, with one player flipping over the cards at other players' request.
