Word Cloud (VA #17)
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
Create and show a word cloud with the review words. Use a word
cloud generator tool like https://www.wordclouds.com/, or use the
one provided:
Divide the class into two teams and have the pupils line up in two
rows.
Say a word in the word cloud and have the first pupil in each row
(one from each team) come to the board and point to the word as
quickly as possible. The faster team receives a point.
Repeat to practice all the words and so all pupils have a chance to play.
To make the game more challenging, give a clue rather than saying the word. For example: You
eat it in the morning. (Pupils must point to "breakfast").

the E. Remind pupils that the Long I sound with the Magic E makes the sound /I/, as in the words:
advice, exercise, life.

Ask pupils which of these words is a new word they have just learned. Elicit: advice, exercise, life
