Unscrambling - Short Lesson
By:jin
Play a game of "Unscrambling" to enrich vocabulary in particular categories, such as animals, transportation, fashion, sports, or media. For example, list four short, scrambled animal names, including one unusual name you want to teach. Let students work in small groups with the goal of being the first group to unscramble all four. With a dictionary at hand, "BEXI" will fairly quickly be unscrambled and turned into "IBEX." Once students get the idea of the game, give them an opportunity to create their own lists for challenging their classmates.
