Preparation
This activity is set in a gym, but it can also be done in a classroom, a kitchen, an office…
Instructions
- Divide the group into pairs. Give each pair a pack of post-its.
- Let every pair check out the area of the gym (or another room).
- Call everybody back. The pairs sit down and write the name of the objects they know on post-its.
- Each pair now labels the objects of which they know the name. Some objects will be labelled several times.
- Together check all the post-its. The winning pair is the pair who wrote the most correct post-its.
- After the activity, make a list of the vocabulary together.
Variant
· You can also put blank post-its on the objects beforehand. Let the pairs label as many objects as possible.
· Add a competitive element: give every pair ten post-its. The first pair to label ten objects, is the winner.
