ESL Games - The Noun Game Divide a lined piece of paper into 4
columns like this: In the first column, insert random letters
chosen by the students, like this: Now fold the edge of the
paper over so that the students cannot see the letters. In the
second column, insert the same amount of nouns, again chosen by
the students, like this: NB: make sure the students understand
it is important that the nouns begin on the same line as the
first letter. The students now have to think of an answer for
each noun, that begins with the adjacent letter, like this: The
game finishes when the students have completed all the answers
or as many as they can. In the event they cannot finish, a time
limit must be imposed. Scoring is as follows: Scores are written
into the end column on the sheet, like this: The scores are then
totalled up and the winner is the one with the most points. The
length of the game can be extended or shortened by using more or
less letters and nouns. Contributor: Anthony Dalton
