POST-LESSON TASK 7: LISTEN AND POINT

AIM: to review topic vocabulary

MATERIALS: Flashcards of topic vocabulary

1. Briefly review the vocabulary on the flashcards.
2. Place the flashcards on the walls around the room.
3. Say a word. Pupils point to the corresponding flashcard.
4. Divide pupils into groups. Pupils continue this activity in their groups.

POST-LESSON TASK 8: MAKE A WORD LADDER

AIM: to review topic vocabulary, to practise spelling

MATERIALS: Board

1. Divide the class into 4 or 5 teams, depending on your class size. There should be about 4 or 5
pupils in each team.
2. Ask each team to stand in a line facing the board. Give each pupil at the front of the line some
chalk or a board pen.
3. Write the lesson topic on the board (e.g. school), and draw a ladder of at least 4 to 5 spaces for
each team (at least one for each pupil in a team).
4. The pupil at the front of each line writes a word connected to the topic at the bottom of the ladder.
They then pass on the chalk or pen to the second pupil, who writes a word in the next space on
the ladder. Pupils can help each other with spellings if need be.
5. You can either continue until each pupil has had a turn to write a word or you can continue for a
fixed time, e.g. 3 minutes, if you have more time available.
6. Each team gets one point for a word which is related to the topic and correctly spelled. If a team
has a word which no other team has, they get an extra point. Alternatively, you can avoid giving
points for these kinds of game, but offer praise yourself and from the other students when teams
do well.
