State, HongKong
Materials Required: True/False placard, strips of paper
Activity Time: up to teacher

Put students into teams.

(2 teams consisting of 3 players is ideal)

IDEA

Write word on board.
Elicit/Check Pronunciation.
Team A has 3 strips of paper each with different explanations to meaning of vocab.
Each team member reads sentences.
team B discuss & choose which one they think is correct and tell the teacher.
Team A show placard True/False
Give points to correct answers.

Then B takes their turn. So on & so forth.

Eg.

Vocab TEETOTALLER

A teetotaller is a person who drinks tea.

A teetotaller is a person who never drinks alcohol.

A teetotaller is a person who can not count.

So that is this English language game.

If you don't know the answer take a guess, check a dictionary & see if you are correct.
