Pronunciation game: Vowel or consonant sounds
Duration: Approx. 20 minutes
Preparation: the teacher will have to prepare in advance a list of sounds (vowels and/or consonants) to play this game.
Group your class into two or three teams. Provide each group with a different sound, for example, the vowel sound /e/ as in the word ‘bed’. Then, the leader in each group, helped by his/her team, will write as many words as possible with that sound.
It’s a fun game for learning pronunciation since students can practise sounds as well as spelling. There is also a collaborative element, as the teams have to discuss which words will go on the board.
Point system: correct 1, incorrect -2
Note: If a student makes a mistake, then wait until the game is finished to discuss with the class the correct answer, and provide a few examples. Learning by trial and error can be very productive.
