A pelmanism game for ESL: 10 spring-related words are introduced, then students uncover two cards at a time to find the matching pairs of photo and word.
For this game, you need to use the PowerPoint editing mode, instead of starting the presentation. Students give the coordinates of the two cards they wish to uncover (“B6 and D1!”). The teacher selects and deletes the two question mark pictures covering those. If it’s a match, no need to do anything. If it isn’t, the teacher just clicks on the Undo icon, and the two question marks re-appear. The game goes on until all pairs have been found.
If time allows and students might benefit from some extra practice, the teacher can then Undo their last action, so one question mark is back, and duplicate that several times to cover the cells with words. Then, the teacher asks students to name the pictures: “What’s A2? C4?”, to revise the target vocabulary one last time.
The same images and words are also provided as worksheets to print and cut up. I recommend printing on card stock, if you wish to use them as cards to play. Otherwise, you can use standard paper and have young students match them and glue them into their notebooks.
