Help learners with vocabulary.

Ask the class to look back over words that they have studied in the last two or three days. Get them to shout out two to you that have at least one letter in common; write them clearly on the board, interlocking, as in a crossword puzzle. This could now continue as a competitive team game (teams take it in turns to add a new word to the grid) or as a class effort, trying to make the grid as big as possible. The students could take over the writing once the rules have been established.

Choose a fairly long reading passage on a particular topic, e.g. cars. Explain that the students must attempt to steal words from you. You will read the passage aloud once and they must try to catch and write down every word they hear that fits the topic of 'cars'. Their aim is to catch as many words as they can in this lexical area. Score and check it as you wish; it's probably useful to allow individuals to compare what they heard against other lists and to end up with them looking at the whole text

Take a number of words that the class has met over the previous lesson or two and write them up on the board with their letters mixed up. The students try to decipher them. (Possibly the words could then be formed into a sentence?)

This is a useful game for revising lexis and is especially good for considering countable and uncountable nouns. In this example, 'food' has been specified as the lexis area. The first student says 'I went into town and I bought an apple'. The next student must repeat the sentence and add a second item beginning with the next letter of the alphabet, e.g. 'I went into town and I bought an apple and a banana'. The third then says 'I went into town and I bought an apple, a banana, and some carrots', etc. Make the rest of the rules up yourself!

The students, working in teams, are given a list of five words; for each word, they must look up and copy out the correct definition and also invent and write out two completely false definitions. When they are ready, the teams come together and challenge each other by reading out a word and all thre definitions. the other team(s) must guess which is the correct definition.

Do an example first: slowly read out a list of ten items; the teams must guess what the title of the list is,i.e.what the connection between the items is. They start with ten points and lose one for every wrong guess. If they get it right, they score a point for each remaining (unread) item. Once the example has been understood, give them some time to work in their teams and prepare their own similar lists, which they then challenge the other team with. This game is usable, with varying degrees of difficulty, from beginner to advanced.
*Low-level examples: sink, spoon, cooker, frying pan, fridge, etc. (Kitchen words)
*High-level examples: a Beatles CD, a wedding ring, file paper, a doughnut, etc. (things with holes)

Divide the class into two teams. One team sends one member to the front, who then sits facing the class, with his/her back to the board. Thus everyone except this student can see what you write on the board. Write a word on the board (probably one recently studied or met); the team of the student sitting at the froent must define the word or give examples of its use without saying the actual word itself0 As soon as the student guesses the word, write another word up and so on until a time limit (perhaps two minutes) is reached, at which point the teams whange over. Players use all manner of techniques to convey the word: rhyme, collocations, synonyms, etc. a great game for revising and consolidating ealier lexis work.

Prepare a tray with about 25 to 30 small objects on it (e.g pencil, comb, paper clip,etc). Show it to the students or two minutes, then cover it (or remove the tray from sight). The students must make a list (as individuals or in teams) of all the objects they can remember. The winner is the one who gets most. (Could be done with a list of words on the board or with flashcards if you can't get enough objects)
