For English Class
A tongue twister is a series of
words or sounds that are usually
repetitive and are difficult to
pronounce quickly and correctly.
Most English language teachers
use tongue twisters to develop the
students pronunciation and
accent. Sometimes, we use
tongue twisters just for the sheer
fun of doing it.
 Disappearing
Words
In this simple activity, students
are shown a word, phrase or
sentence that disappears in 2
seconds! They need to remember
what they saw and write them
down on a mini-whiteboard or
paper. The fastest team to show
the correct answer wins the
round.
 Hot seat
Game Type: Pair, Team

One student will help

the person in the “hot
seat” to guess the
secret image behind
him/her before the time
runs out! This is a
classic way to develop
word association and
description.
 Anagrams
Anagram is a word, phrase,
or name formed by
rearranging the letters of
another word. In this game,
students work in teams to
identify the original words of
the 1. anagrams and 2.
jumbled words.
