    activity, group work vocabulary knowledge for a given subject or topic.

    Procedure
    Language Focus
    Draw three or four columns on the board.
    Categories of words
    Divide the students into a corresponding number of teams.
    Aim
    Have each team line up in front of a column and give each team
    To write words connected a marker or chalk for writing.
    to a category.
    Write a category on the board and set a target number of 10 to
    20 words, depending on the level of the class.
    Preparation
    The teams' task is to write the target number of words in their
    None
    column, making sure the words are correctly spelt and that they
    relate to the category. The first team to do this wins the round.
    Level
    The first student in each team runs to the board, writes a word
    Any from the category in the column, runs back, gives the marker or
    chalk to the next student and goes to the back of the line.

    Time Then, the second student runs to the board and so on.
    15 minutes
    The teams should check the words being written by their team
    members. If they spot a mistake, the student who wrote the word
    should go back and correct it.

    When the target number of words has been reached by one team,
    stop the game and check the words and spelling for that team.

    If the words are appropriate and spelt correctly, the team scores
    one point.

    If not, that team is out of the game and the other teams continue
    to race until one of them completes the task successfully.

    Play several rounds using a different category each time.

    The team with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
