GAMES for CLIL
Hangman
Tennis (association) game: Dividing the class in two teams, one student “serves” by saying one word (free or related to given topic). A student from the other team has to “hit” with a related word (cell - ribosome) and so the next of the opposite team. A student who repeats a word, doesn’t reply in three seconds or can’t justify the association misses the point. The game follows tennis scoring system.
Wordfields: One by one, Ss have to give a word that fits the wordfield / topic given.
Word chains: series or words starting with the last letter or syllable of the previous one.
Word wheel (pasapalabra): The player must guess the word corresponding to the given definition starting or containing the letters of the alphabet.
Sentence ladder: Give 6 words related to a specific topic (mixing nouns, adjectives, verbs …) focusing on key concepts. In teams, Ss have to use all the words to make one long sentence. The longest and most accurate sentence wins.
Just a minute: A Ss or team is given a topic to talk about for one minute without stopping, hesitating, repeating themselves or making mistakes.
Describe it / Taboo: T gives a card/word to a student to describe it for the rest to guess (without mentioning certain words). He must give a clue at a time. Failed guesses leave that person out. The presenter gets a point for every correct clue.
20 questions (number can be changed): Ss have to guess what the concept /object / person is by asking yes/no questions.
