EXTENSION
GROUP/PAIR WORK:
SPELLING BEE
Play SPELLING BEE to review vocabulary from this unit.
1) Divide the class into two teams and appoint a scorekeeper.
2) Start with a player from either team. Call out a word. The player must then spell the word out loud. If the player misspells the word, a player from the other team gets a turn to try. The turn keeps passing from team to team until someone spells the word correctly. This team then wins a point. When a player spells a word correctly and wins a point, a player on the other team takes a turn trying to spell a new word you call out.
3) To make the game more challenging, the speller must also use the word correctly in a sentence to win the point.
For example:
Teacher: Agreement.
Team A-Player 1: A-g-r-e-m-e-n-t. Teacher: No.
Team B-Player I: A-g-r-e-e-m-e-n-t.
Teacher: Yes! Now use the word in a sentence, please.
Team B-Player 1: They had a good talk and came to an agreement.
Teacher: Very good. Now spell"situation". Team B-Player 2: S-i-t-u-a-t-i-o-n.
Teacher: Yes! Now please use this word in a sentence.
Team B-Player 2: The UN worked together to take care of the situation.
Teacher: Well done.
