LESSON OVERVIEW

The main objectives of this worksheet with A2 review games are to:

• revise vocabulary, grammar and forming questions;
• practise speaking, creative thinking and sentence-building skills;
• do fun activities on vocabulary and grammar.

In this worksheet, students learn by playing games. They review vocabulary and practise quick thinking. Students train their speaking skills and work on forming questions in real-life situations. They develop creative thinking while learning to justify their choices. Students also practise grammar and sentence-building skills.

CATEGORIES GAME

As part of the A2 review games in this worksheet, students follow instructions to play a word game. They look at a table of categories (e.g. clothes, food, animal) and are given one letter. In one minute, students write a word starting with that letter for each category. They think of original or less common words to get more points.

SNAKES AND LADDERS

In this exercise, students play a board game. They roll the dice, move to a square and do the task on it (e.g. create two questions you could ask someone you’ve just met). If they complete the task correctly, they move forward. If students can’t do it, they move back. They also use ladders and snakes to move around the board.

DESERT ISLAND

In this A2 review game students imagine they’re going to a desert island. They get a card containing a rule to follow (e.g. each item must fit into your pocket). Students think of five things they would take to the island, following the rule on their card. They earn one point for each item that fits, plus an extra point for explaining their choices.

THE GAME OF JEOPARDY

Students play a game where they take turns choosing boxes with categories (e.g. tenses, modals, prepositions). They do the task in each box (e.g. create a Past Simple sentence using three verbs: one regular and two irregular) until they complete all of them. The boxes contain the points they earn if they do the task correctly. The higher the number, the more difficult the task is. The person who gets the most points wins.
