Game 3:

I spy is an old and simple vocabulary game, but

it is really effective. A pupil says: I spy with my littleeye something beginning with A/B/C/... (any letter).Others guess what the object is. The object must bevisible in the room or in a wall picture. Instead of using I spy we can use the following rhyme: One,two, three, What can I see?, Something in thisclassroom, beginning with A/B/C/... (any letter)..

All the words must be related with the water,the Earth, the flora or the fauna.

Another game is when a child says a word andthe next child has to say another word beginning

with the last letter of the first word in the game. E. g.Banana Apple
