Adjective Chain

Instead of teaching grammar the usual way (i.e. drill and practice), I made use of a game 'Adjective Chain' (credits to the 'All about English' team from Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd!)

Anyhow, the game goes like this...
(1) Get the entire class to stand up.
(2) Students would be called out at random.
(3) Once called, they have to provide an adjective each before they are allowed to sit down. [The adjective must be a word that describes a person's physical appearance, personality or feelings (focus of this activity)]
(4) (Catch to this game is that) the adjective provided must begin with the last letter of the adjective given by the previous student. [Challenge students by having them give an adjective that belongs to a different category from the previous word.)

I made use of mywebspiration to 'record' the words as the students give them:

What touched me most about this class was how they thought for each other and helped each other with the words; all to the very last point when there was only one boy standing, and they helped him give a word in unison.
Appreciate their great display of class spirit! :)

I used 'Wordle' to beautifully capture what the students came up with...


P.S. Just a casual sharing of 2 ICT tools I used for the first time. :)
