Match the Words



How to play …

… this funny, exciting and suspenseful speaking activity which can be used to review prefixes:

▪ Print the sheets and cut each of them into 18 cards. (In order to make the cards last longer you could print them on construction paper or laminate the sheets before you cut out the cards.) There are four sheets with cards, so you should have 54 cards in the end.

▪ Divide your students in two groups and give one group all the orange cards and the other group all the green cards. (The green cards are the ones with the prefixes!!!)

▪ Now have one group sit in one half of the classroom and the other one in the other part of the room.

▪ Anybody can start the game and ask someone from the other group aloud if they have the card they are looking for. E. g. Betsy is looking for another expression for “boast”, she says: ‘Sabrina, do you have another word for “boast”?’

▪ If she has the card Betsy is looking for which is quite unlikely, she must say:

‘ Yes, I do. It’s “exaggerate”. ’

and give her the card.

Betsy might also be looking for a different word for “colleague at work”, so she can ask

somebody else now if they have this card (which is “co-worker”).

▪ If Sabrina doesn’t have the card Betsy is looking for, it’s her turn to ask someone from Betsy’s group if they have a card she is looking for.

▪ It is every group’s aim to win as many cards from the other group as they can, because the team with the most cards are the winners!

▪ Your students must be clever as well as lucky, because a lot depends on whether they have learned their vocabulary and on who they ask their questions!
