Hangman

Objectives

The learner can name the letters of the alphabet correctly.

Material

• Blackboard or something alike.

Instructions

• Choose a word which is known by the learners.
• On the blackboard, draw a line for each letter of the word.
• Let a first learner select a letter of the alphabet. If the letter forms part of the word, reveal the letter on the corresponding line(s).
• If the letter does not appear in the word, draw a part of the hangman.
• A learner can only take a guess at the complete word when it is his/her turn.
• The winner is the one who guesses the word correctly.
• The group loses if the hangman is drawn completely before the word has been guessed.

Variant

• You can let a learner choose and write a word on the blackboard. Check the spelling!
• For longer games, choose phrases instead of words.
