Using Lexical Games in Class

Lexical games are a great way to get the students to work either as an activity or as a filler.
These games come in a variety of ways like:

• Category List
• Fictionary
• Word Seeds
• Word Dominoes
• Word Thieves
• I went into Town
• Word Jumbles
• Instant Crossword
• Don't finish a Word
• Biting your Tail

Choosing which game to play and when to play it depends on how well the teacher understands his class.
Some of the games mentioned above may not useful to some classes while other classes may find them really useful and entertaining.

In conclusion lexical games are very useful to students but a teacher has to know which games to use with their class, when and how to use them, and also the teacher has to make sure to make the instructions as clear as possible so that the students know what to do once the game starts.
