By Chris Gunn Inha TESOL Collocation Game By Chris Gunn Inha TESOL
Game Objectives I will show you some language with blanks. Your team must guess what word fits in the blanks. The word you choose must collocate well with the given language. Although more than one word might fit in the blank, you must guess the exact word that I have chosen.
Rules I will show one clue. Your group has a chance to guess what word fits in the blank. You only get one guess per clue so use it wisely. If nobody can guess the word that fits in the blank, then I will reveal another clue. We will repeat the process until one group guesses the word or we run out of clues.
Practice round: Let’s try a practice round before we begin. Remember you only get one guess per group per clue. Ready?
