Minimal Pairs Practice Activity

In this lesson, students practice pronouncing minimal pairs.

Give students a copy of the chart below. Have each student circle two words from each line. Then, have students say the circled words to a partner. Instruct the
partner to circle the words that he/she hears. When students finish saying the circled words, have both students compare answers to see if they have circled the same
words.
