1)
The teacher should choose a category. Possible categories include:
| Food
and Drink |
Animals |
| Jobs |
Places |
| Names |
Things
smaller than a car |
| Things
found in a house |
Things
found in school |
| Sports
and Leisure |
Television
and Film |
2)
One child should choose one thing from that category and tell the rest
of the class. For example, if the category was animals, the child could
call out "dog".
3)
The next child should think of another thing in that category which begins
with the last letter of this word (e.g. the last letter of dog is "g",
so the next word could be giraffe).
4)
This process continues until someone cannot think of a suitable word -
repetition of words is not allowed!
Example ...
dog, giraffe, elephant, tiger, rabbit, tortoise ...
This
activity could also be used to reinforce the children's knowledge of types
of words (nouns, adjectives, verbs etc.) if you chose one word type (e.g.
adverbs) as a category.
