邊游戲，邊記憶

記單詞是學習英語的基本功，擁有較大的詞匯量是許多同學的夢想。然而有許多同學卻認為記單詞是一件十分枯燥、無趣的事情，花費了大量的時間也不一定有理想的收獲。

其實，干任何事情都是有規律和方法的。這里我們向大家介紹幾種玩游戲練習詞匯的方法。大家不妨試一試，通過輕松的游戲形式來操練自己已掌握的單詞，同時，也可以從其他的同學那里學到一些新的詞匯。輕松游戲，快樂記憶！何樂而不為呢？Let’s begin！

Letter game

1. Last letter—first letter

Students work in groups of four or more. Student A says a word， then Student B starts the next word with the last letter of the previous word.

e.g. beautiful—library—yellow—west

加大難度：

A． 規定音節數量，如：可規定每個單詞必須有且只有兩個音節。

B． 規定詞性，即要求所說單詞必須為同一詞性，如都要求是動詞。

C． 要求單詞的字母個數，如：要求每個單詞均由5個字母組成，或放寬要求，要求由4～6個字母組成。

2． Odd word in a group

Take a set of four or more words. Students should choose the odd one out. For example， there are four words“bird”，“pig”，“dog”，“chair”. The students should choose“chair”out， because the other three words are living， but a chair is not.

注意：

此游戲需要學生說出選詞的理由，最好用英語解釋。答案也不是唯一的。如上題中，學生也可以選擇“bird”， 理由是It has two legs and the others have four. 只要理由是合理的，選擇任何一個都是可以接受的。

None game

3. Same or different

This is similar to Exercise Two above.

Dictate a list of nouns to the class or put them on the board or overhead-projector. Students work in pairs to find similarities or differences.

As an example， take the words“stone， wood， stair， alarm， ceiling， roof， chimney”.

Some possibilities:“You can make a house from both wood and stone. You can walk on a roof but not a ceiling.”

Note that there are no correct answers.

Give students one example to get them started.

Both this exercise and the previous one can be done orally or in writing.

4. The Egg-shell-fish game

Play this in groups of four. Student A says a word; student B must say a word that either rhymes with the previous word or has a sense connection.

So from“egg”progress to“leg”(rhymes) or to“shell”(egg-shell) but not to“jam”(no connection).

If other students do not see a connection between two words， they can challenge. Allow five seconds per turn or a student loses a life.

After losing three lives， a student must retire from the game.

Phrase game

5. Adjective game

After teaching the rules for the adjective order， instruct students to describe.

a）a house

b）a birthday present for a classmate

Students can work in pairs.

Here are some examples:

a）A ruined 16th century stone castle with high black wooden doors

b）A short-sleeved long white cotton shirt with a flowery pattern

Students write their phrases on the board so the class can check the adjective order.

If you like， the class can vote for the most interesting place to visit / the most suitable present / the most beautiful article of clothing.

你們覺得這些游戲怎么樣？

大家可以根據實際情況調節游戲的規則，也可以發明創造新的游戲。只要你保持濃厚的興趣，你的單詞量一定會得到提高的。
