i like to play with my student. it makes them more active in class and cheer them up from routine subject. sometimes it relax me too while see their activity. this game was introduced to me by my junior high school teacher , Mrs. Meriam who said that i'm good enough for this game. :P
some days ago i introduced a new game to them. basically it asked them to create new words from a long spelling word i give them. one word will got one score.
usually i divide my students into five groups. each group must have a writer and a helper. so in front of the class we only have two students from each group (believe, it doesn't reduce the noise part of their supporter).
usually i give them a word that separable, such as hopscotch (engklek)
then i check the spelling of my student first
next i let them to find words inside the words given such as hop, scotch, posh, post, etc.
each correct word they write on the blackboard will get one score which will be divided by the members to be their additional score.
have a nice try
