Activating Vocabulary Through Pictures – Worksheet

Activating Vocabulary – ESOL
It is designed for teachers with limited preparation
time who want to provide lively, motivating language skills lessons to introduce, test or revise.

Type A
The activities are simple to use and self explanatory but a few tips may be useful.
Start with a discussion to set the context.
See how many words the students already know.
Read through the words carefully for pronunciation practice.
Play a ‘Can you tell me number 4 please?’ Game around the group.(The ‘please’ is important !)

Type B
Encourage learners to use three different colours to underline /colour code the words into categories.
(This has much more impact than just underlining them in biro!)
Students write the words in the Category ‘shapes’.
Each student chooses 3 words (secretly) and puts them into sentences (or a little story).
The other students listen hard to identify the ‘special’ words.
Brainstorm some more words for each category.
