Word Snake
Age/Level: Young learners Time: 10 minutes Players: Individual
This is a very simple music game to play with young learners. For this game, you will need a
ball.
Procedure
Play some music and have the students pass the ball to each other until the music stops.
When the music stops, whoever is holding the ball has to write a word in English on the
board. You can have the students write any word or you could tell the students what types of
words they must write, e.g. verbs, adjectives, animals, etc.
The next student, who is holding the ball when the music stops, has to use the last letter of
the word on the board to make another word.
Example:
If a student wrote monkey, the next student would use the Y as the first letter of the new
word.
At the end of the game, you should have a long word snake with all the words joined up.
Example:
MONKEY
E
L TALL
L X O
O E V
WOMAN ELEPHANT
