Drilling Vocabulary

Search word game

Last week, my students spent their holiday by studying about the characteristics of animals. They studied adjectives and nouns related to animals using search word game. My students love doing search word a lot. Through this they can learn the spelling of words as well as the meanings. I gave them limited time to do this game and the first was the winner. After that, they found the meanings of the words using picture flash cards shown by teacher and guessed the meaning on their own language. To empower their knowledge about the topic of that day, teacher asked them to learn vocabulary using emoticons of Whats App application on their smart phone. Each student chose ten words on the search word. after that, they had to send the ten words to their friends, but the words were typed by using emoticons that corresponded the words chosen. their friend would guess what the words were. student with the most right answer would be the winner.

Through this activity, i hope that my students will read and read again what they have just studied. I also hope that they can recall all the words as frequent as possible and keep the words in mind.
