Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Sort basic words by meaning: people versus animals, bright versus dark colours, school-bag versus kitchen items, and greetings versus thanks or apologies.

What's in the worksheet

4 sorting rounds, dragging 4 cards into 2 groups - Person or animal: boy, cat, girl, dog - Bright or dark colour: yellow, black, white, brown - School bag or kitchen: pencil, spoon, book, plate - Greeting or thanks/apology: Hello, Thank you, Good morning, Sorry

How to use it in class

Use as a mid-term vocabulary review; about 4 minutes. - Play as a class on the projector, reading each card and having children answer aloud before dragging - In round 3, have children hold up a pencil and a book from their own bags - In round 4, have the class say each phrase with an action, e.g. a wai for Hello - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Round 4: Sorry may go with greetings, as children hear it often in conversation - Round 2: white and yellow are easy, but brown may cause hesitation - Round 3: spoon and plate may be new words
