WARM UP
Competition game – Hangman
- T divides the class into 2 big groups and draws each of them a gallows on the
board.
Team A Team B
- T explains to Ss that they are going to play a “Hangman” game. The rule is
that T gives a secret word and the groups will take turn to guess it by telling
what letters they think there are in this word. If Ss choose a letter that appears
on oe more times in the secret word, the letters and their positions will be
revealed and Ss can keep on guessing the next letter. On the other hand, if Ss
guess a letter that isn’t in the secret word, them a piece of man being hanged
will be added to the gallows and they will lose their turn to the other groups. Ss

will get one point for each letter they can guess correctly. When the game is
over, T will count how many points each group has collected and the group with
more points will win the game.
- T leads the game, and in this lesson, the secret word is “volunteer”. T draws
the same number of dashes as the number of letters in this word. For this word,
T’d need 9 dashes like this:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
