Ask groups of children to arrange four or five word flashcards in alphabetical order. Spread all the picture and word flashcards out, face-down on the table. Pupils take turns to turn over two of the cards, naming each picture. If they can match a word and a picture, they win the pair. If they can t, they must put the cards face-down again for the next pupil to take a turn.
Pupils stand in a line.
Give one card to the last pupil in the line. Pupils, starting from this last one, must whisper the word up the line to the first person, who writes it.
