LINGO

This a simple game based on "Mastermind"

Chalk five lines on the blackboard
Make two teams
Think of a word with five letters
One team says a word with 5 letters
Write the word on the five lines
Under the word use the following marking system.
If the letter exists in the word but is not in the correct position put a circle under
that letter.
If a letter is in the correct position put a cross under it. Then draw five more
lines underneath and repeat the process.
They will be able to guess the word by logical deduction after 3 or 4 goes. The
first team to guess the word wins. With more advanced students you can use
bigger words.

Here is a list of 5 letter words that you can use with children
