Guessing from Pictures

The teacher finds 3 pictures or objects which are connected to the story or reading.

The teacher asks how those pictures and images are connected.

Finally, students read the text and check if they were right or wrong about the story connections they
made.

2.Guessing from Words

Before students look at the text they are going to read, the teacher writes 5 or 6 words from the text on
the board and asks the students to guess the topic.

Students brainstorm ideas that could be written on the whiteboard for everyone to see and remember.

Additionally, the teacher can take a poll to see if students like ideas brainstormed by other students.

Finally, the teacher confirms how close or far they were.

3.Pictionary

Select some of the key words from the text.

Divide the class into two or three groups.

A learner from each group (at the same time) comes to the whiteboard.

They are told the word and they have to draw that word. They are not allowed to use letters or numbers
in their drawing.

The other students try to guess what the word is and thus earn points for their team.

4. Speed chatting

Prepare one or two simple questions related to the topic of the reading.

Ask the class to make two rows facing each other.

Then, encourage your learners to ask each other questions about the topic, but warn them that they
only have 60 seconds to do so.

Once the 60 seconds are up, one of the rows rotates so each learner has a new partner.

Repeat the process several times.

5. How many words do you know?

The teacher prepares the board by writing the letters of the alphabet in 3 or 4 columns.
The students form two lines standing behind each other.

Use 2 colored markers so you know which team wrote what. The first student at the front of each team
gets the board marker.

The teacher introduces a topic to the class.

The 2 students move to the board and write one word related to the topic on the board next to the
letter it begins with, then pass the marker to the next student in their team and go to the back of the
queue.

The 2 teams compete to write as many words as possible on the board in 3 minutes.

The team with the largest number of appropriate and correctly spelled answers wins!

1. Story time

Show your child a random picture and tell them a story related to it. Now show them another picture
and ask them to come up with a story related to that picture. You can use anything as a picture, like a
family photograph or an image in a newspaper. Ask your child to name the characters, what they are
doing, etc.

2. Rhyming words game

This makes for a great family game. Start by saying a word, and the next person have to come up with its
rhyming word. The rhyming words can even include words that don’t make any sense. The game
continues till you are out of rhyming words.

3. Alphabet rhyme

Everything sounds simple and easy to learn when it’s musical. Teach your kids letters with the help of
alphabet rhymes

4. Strick off the words

Write some words from the text you will read to your child on a sheet of paper. Now, give this sheet to
your kid and ask them to listen carefully when you read. They have to strike off the words they hear.

5. Guess the letter

In this game, you will draw a thing related to any letter, and your child will have to guess the letter. For
example, you can draw Kite for the letter K, Egg for the letter E, and so on.
