Hangman This is another children’s game that can be adapted for speaking and vocabulary. Most kids know this game, which needs little introduction, but for those who may have forgotten their childhood pastimes, here’s how it works : Take a word that everyone knows like “airplane,” and tell the SDS how many letters are in the word = seven letters. Then, you underline a space for each of the seven letters, as for example __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ Then you give them a hint like, “It’s the name of a machine in which you can travel through the air.” Then, they guess the first letter, which in this case would be A. Then, they guess the second letter … and so on... With any luck, they will be able to fill in all the letters without making any error. The problem is that if they guess a wrong letter, then they suffer a penalty using one stroke for each wrong answer to build their own hangman’s gallows, adding one stroke, for every wrong letter, step-by-step, to look like this There are lots of words you can use such as Pigeon Subway Elephant Python Pencil Crocodile Telephone, etc. The secret of success is choosing words everyone in the group should know and giving good hints so they can figure out the words. Since this is the age of student-centered learning, let the students make up their own list of words. 20
