Game One.
The Teacher chooses two children to go and sit in front of the class, in front of the rest of the children.
They each are given a Dictionary.
The Teacher then chooses a child either sitting on the mat ( all children ), or all at their chairs.
The chosen child then says a word of their choice out aloud. eg. Bright. The two children sitting in front of the rest of the class then race to find the word in the dictionary.
Then when one of the two of them find it they say it aloud, the word. This means they’ve found it.
They are the winner.
The winner then reads the Dictionary Definition of the winning word out in front of the children.
They stay in front of the class and the other child goes and sits on the mat or their chair.
The child that was chosen to choose a word for the two children up the front of the class then goes and sits in front of the class, with the child that won the first game.
The game continues with the Teacher choosing a child, boy then girl, then boy then girl to say a word of their choice to the children up the front. The game continues, as per first child, to find the word, called out, by the boy or girl.
The winner as per above, reads out the found words Definition to the class.
Game Two.
For game two.
Two children sitting in front of the class.
With a Dictionary each.
The Teacher chooses a boy or girl to say a definition of a word. eg. I have a long neck.
Then the first of the two children up in front of the Class to find the word Giraffe is the winner.
They say the word out aloud to the rest of the class.
If the word is correct they are the winner.
The same process as game one, but this time the child says the word out aloud. The winner stays in front of the class and the other child goes and sits down.
The child that said the Definition then goes and sits in front of the class.
