Aim: To come up with words that relate to a category

This is a fun category game for students of English.

Procedure

This game can be played individually, in pairs or small teams, depending on the size of your
class.

Give each team (student or pair) a number and write the numbers on the board. Next to
each number draw three stick men. The stick men represent each team's number of lives.

Now, give the teams a category, e.g. animals.

The teams must come up with words that relate to that category. Each team in turn says one
word relating to the category and this continues around the class.

Once a word has been said, it cannot be repeated.

If a word is repeated, the team who said the word loses a life.

Also, if a team takes too long to come up with a word or can't think of a word, they lose a life.

When a team loses all three lives, they are out of the game.

Continue with the category until only one team is left. That team is the winner.
