Anagrams.

  

Game title. Anagrams.
Subject	Vocabulary.
Richard’s comments.	As it is an individual exercise, it is a nice activity for the older students at the beginning of a lesson if some tend to drift in later than others. You can throw a little activity on the board for anytime to fill a little gap.
Group size and level:	Any class size. It is an individual activity. Elementary school and upwards.
Team teaching game?	Some students may need help.

 

Materials	Prepared anagrams for the board. (An anagram is simply a word with the letters scrambled.) Take the vocabulary from your unit or from previous units so the students can find them in the textbook. It is important that they can source the answer from somewhere.
Game set up.	Simply place the Anagrams on the board.

 

Playing rules.	Simply solve the anagrams. Couldn’t be simpler.
Variations.	May well work for short phrases too.  See my ‘Basic questions’ anagrams game.
