Procedure:

Introduction (5 minutes):

Explain the purpose of the lesson: to improve vocabulary and communication skills through a guessing game.

Divide students into equal-sized subgroups, ensuring diversity within each group.

Clarify the rules: each subgroup will be given a word to define to their teammates, who must guess the word correctly within a specified time limit.

Word Definitions Challenge (20 minutes):

Secretly assign a word to each subgroup.

Instruct students not to reveal their word to members of other subgroups.

Each subgroup will take turns providing a definition of their word to their teammates, who must guess the word.

Set a time limit (e.g., 2 minutes) for each subgroup to provide their definition and for their teammates to guess the word.

Rotate through each subgroup, allowing them to provide their definition and giving their teammates a chance to guess.

As the teacher, visit each subgroup to monitor progress and check for correct answers.

Storytelling and Joke-telling (15 minutes):

If a subgroup fails to guess the word correctly within the time limit, they must share a joke or a short story with their teammates.

Encourage creativity and humor while ensuring content is appropriate for the classroom environment.

Provide feedback and positive reinforcement for efforts in storytelling and joke-telling.

Reflection and Discussion (10 minutes):

Gather students together for a brief reflection on the activity.

Ask students to share their experiences and what they learned from the game.

Discuss any challenges faced and strategies used to overcome them.

Highlight the importance of teamwork, communication, and creativity in learning and problem-solving.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

Summarize the key points of the lesson.

Congratulate students on their participation and engagement.

Encourage students to continue practicing their vocabulary and communication skills outside of the classroom.

Optional Extension:

Allow students to switch roles within their subgroups, giving everyone a chance to provide definitions and guess words.

Introduce more challenging words for advanced students or vocabulary-building purposes.

Incorporate technology by using a digital platform or app for word guessing and storytelling activities.
