Vocabulary Game for Improving Spoken English

Today I will be discussing an effective game to build your vocabulary and enhance your spoken English capability. The game is a Vocabulary game, and it requires more then one person. Usually depending upon the number of persons available, two groups can be formed. The game is a simple one and it tests your knowledge of vocabulary, and also emphasizes on spoken English. This game is one of the way to improve your vocabulary and spoken English capabilities.

The rules of the game are simple and are detailed below.

Rule 1 for the Vocabulary Game

Everyone will speak in English throughout the game. This is the most important rule as the main motive is to improve Spoken English.

Rule 2 for the Vocabulary Game

First group will come up with a word, that they think is a difficult one to know. The second group is supposed to tell its meaning. If the meaning is correct, then 10 points will be awarded to that group. If the meaning is wrong or if they are not able to answer the meaning of that word, then 10 points will be subtracted from that group.

After that the second group will come up with a word from their knowledge of vocabulary, and the first group will be supposed to answer its meaning. The point allocation rules are again the same as applied to the first group.

Rule 3 for the Vocabulary Game

This game could be played till the time both the group wishes, in the end the final total of the points will be made and the winner team will be declared. Again I would like to emphasize that throughout the game only English has to be spoken. There could be an extra rule that on speaking any other language apart from English, 10 points will be deducted from that team. It's a nice way to force both the teams to speak in English.

The main advantage of this Vocabulary game for improving spoken English is that while one team is coming up with one word, thereby testing their vocabulary, the other team has to come up with the meaning of that word. It implies that the other team has to know that word already, moreover they have to answer in English about the meaning of that word.

This helps in overall benefit to both the teams in terms of Vocabulary knowledge and improvement in Spoken English. Try this game at home or whenever you have time and friends together, it will surely be a good pass time, and in the process your English will also improve.
