Begin by putting two words on the board that will become the categories, e.g., places vs. actions
(verbs)
Divide the class into two teams. Each team sends a pupil to the board to write one of the
vocabulary words under the category.
Teams receive points for each word placed under the correct category. You may choose to give
bonus points for correct spelling.
Once all (or most) of the words have been used, start two new categories (e.g., things vs. people,
things vs. verbs) and continue playing.
