This can be played on the board with the whole class, in small groups, or in pairs. One student chooses a secret identity, e.g. Remove an object and ask students to write down the that of a celebrity. Other students must guess the identity missing object.

When a student hears a word he or she has drawn or written, they must cross it out. When all six vocabulary items are crossed out, the student can call out Bingo. The first to call out Bingo wins the game. Hangman Choose a word or phrase. Write a gap for each letter of the word on the board. Separate words with a clear space or slash, e.g. I lived in Paris. _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ . Students guess which letters appear in the words. Each student can call out just one letter. If the letter is contained in the word, or phrase, write it in the appropriate place(s), e.g. for the letter ‘i’: I / _ i _ _ _ / i _ / _ _ _ i _ . If a student calls out a letter that isn’t in the word or phrase, write it on the board and draw one line of the hangman. © Copyright Oxford University Press Introduction 9 4004701 CHAMP 2e TB2.indb 9 04/11/2014 13:25
