I put to use my experience as an English as a Second Language Teacher in creating practical worksheets, quizzes, games and videos that can be put to good use by teachers, parents and learners.

Level: PET (B1) - Advanced (C2).

Teachers can use this word game as a warm-up activity or as a short break during the lesson.

* The class can be divided in up to three teams. 
* The teams take turns asking the teacher to reveal letters. 
* The team captain (or each student in a team) tells the teacher if they want to reveal a consonant (con.) or a vowel (vow.). 
* After all 10 letters are revealed, all teams are given 30 seconds to form the longest word they can using the letters that have just been revealed. 
* The teacher then writes down each team's word in the allocated space in the game.
* The team(s) with the longest word(s) get(s) 1 point. The team(s) that got a nine-letter word get(s) 2 points. The team(s) that got a ten-letter word get(s) 3 points. (The teacher can add the points for each team manually.)

* There are links to an online Dictionary (to check if the words the teams gave exist) and an Anagrams website (to show the longest word possible if needed).


** This game is recommended to be used by mature students because some rude words may be revealed.
