These are two activities that really appeal to kinaesthetic, visual and creative learners and make vocabulary revision a whole lot of fun. For Pictionary each team will need some sheets of blank paper (or a mini-whiteboard) and for Claymation they will need a tub of play-dough.

  1. Prepare a set of vocabulary cards for each team before class.
  2. Explain that each team member will take it turns to draw/make the word that they pick up. Make it clear that the drawer/maker MUST not speak or use letters/numbers to help them, while the other team members must guess the word.
  3. Start the activity – the first team to guess all of the words is the winner

Sometimes known as Back to the Board, this is a game that never fails to get the students going.

  1. Put two chairs (or more depending on how many teams you want) at the front of the class, facing away from the board. Organize students into teams and invite one person from each team to take the ‘hot seat’, with the rest of the group standing around them.
  2. Choose a word from the Vocab Bag and write it on the board, making sure the seated students do not look.
  3. The standing students must give a definition for the word that will enable the student in the hot seat to correctly guess it. The first student to guess the word wins a point for their team.
  4. Rotate the students around after every word, so that every student has their turn in the hot seat.
