EXTENSION
GROUP/CLASS WORK: Make It Up
Play Make It Up to review concepts, phrases and vocabulary.
1)You can play this game in groups or as a class. Every student will need a pen or pencil and a pad of paper. You will also need a set of words or phrases (with the definitions)to give to the students.
2)One student is the game leader and reads out a word or a phrase to the others. The other group members then each write down a made-up but believable definition and then hand it to the game leader who mixes up the made-up answers with the real answers and reads them aloud to the group. The other group members must guess which answer is actually correct. Students score points if people choose their made up answer as the real answer or if they guess the real answer correctly. Students should take turns being the game leader every round.
For example: Phrase: keep silent
Real definition: To remain quiet and not to say anything.
Made-up definitions: (1)To keep a secret. (2)To listen quietly.
(3)To ask other people to be quiet Phrase: after all
Real meaning: Most importantly or in the end. Made-up meanings:
(1)Before nothing. (2)After everything. (3)To tell you the truth...
