Activity type: This activity practices the sequence of the alphabet. It also helps to review the students’ vocabulary.
Level: Beginners and above – it particularly useful with younger learners
Teacher's notes:
- Go around the class and ask the students to shout out the letters of the alphabet- they should do this sequentially; the first student begins with ‘a’, the next ‘b’ and so on. This is to get the students warmed up.
- Now ask the students to say a word which begins with each letter of the alphabet in the correct alphabetical sequence. For example: the first student could say apple, the next big, the next cat and so on.
- You can do this as a class effort i.e. all of the students shout out at once or you could do it individually around the class.
- You could also make it a team game i.e. divide the class into two teams, ask the first team to begin with a and so on. The first team that can’t say a word are out.
