Before you play

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Read transport words, link vehicles to where they travel (plane to sky, train to rails), choose the verbs that go with them (ride a bicycle, sail a boat) and read travel words (indicator ต 1.1 ป.3/2).

What's in the worksheet

4 questions, matching 4 pairs each - plane to เครื่องบิน, boat to เรือ - train to rails, car to road - ride to a bicycle, sail to a boat, drive to a car - ticket to ตั๋ว, trip to การเดินทาง

How to use it in class

Use in a travel unit or before a field trip, about 5 minutes, in pairs. For Q3, the pair mimes riding and driving before tapping. - Afterwards, ask How do you come to school? and have them answer By bus. / I ride a bicycle. - For Q4, bring in a real ticket or map if you have one - Play it linked to your class so scores go into the gradebook

Common sticking points

- ride and drive (Q3) get swapped, as Thai ขี่ and ขับ are close. If you sit astride, it is ride - sail (Q3) is new and matched by elimination; teach it after the game - trip (Q4) is unfamiliar and left until last
