Students are placed in pairs, and each is given only half of the clues for the puzzle. So they can draw or act the word out. Of course, the students can be given the option of describing orally. The class is divided up into 2 teams. A running tally is kept until their are no more verbs.
Winners get a prize.
Then students write a story in pairs. So they can kept a running tally of the ones they have used or not. These in turn are read aloud in class. Here, it is helpful for students to maintain lexical lists. It gives them more communicative power through pre-fabricated lexical chunks and bigger handles within the language.
