ESL Vocabulary Review Game A2, Elementary Vocabulary Quiz Game for ESL and ELL, Google Slides and PowerPoint

$4.99

A2 learners can shop, travel and see a doctor, if they have the words. My A2 elementary ESL vocabulary review game checks 30 everyday words on one board, and like all my ESL vocabulary games, it plays on screen or on printed cards.

Perfect For

  • ESL, ELL and EFL classes at any grade, teens and adults, level A2 (elementary)
  • A2 vocabulary review, test prep, and a fun end to a unit or a Friday
  • Pair work, stations and tutoring with the printable question cards, no projector needed

How the Game Works

  1. A team picks a question type and a dollar value on the board, then answers the question
  2. Click the answer button to check. Correct wins the value, wrong lets another team steal
  3. One cell hides the Daily Double: the team wagers first, then doubles it if correct
  4. After the board, every team wagers on the Final Question. Highest total wins

Why Teachers Love This Game

  • Six question types in one game: Fill the Gap, Definitions, Opposites, Odd One Out, Same Meaning, and Word Partners
  • The answer word shows in green, with any other word that also counts
  • No prep and no logins. Works in Google Slides or PowerPoint, or fully on paper with the cards
  • Every question is editable, so you can swap in your own word list

Here is a quick look at the game:

Description

What’s Included

  • Editable quiz game board (6 question types x 5 values, 30 question slides with answer slides, a Daily Double, and a Final Question) in Google Slides or PowerPoint
  • 30 A2 vocabulary questions with answers in six question types: Fill the Gap, Definitions, Opposites, Odd One Out, Same Meaning, and Word Partners
  • 30 printable question cards plus 2 blank cards, with the question type and dollar value on the back for double-sided printing
  • Printable four-team score sheet with Daily Double and Final Question wager lines
  • Teacher key with how to play, the full answer grid, and the final answer
  • Color and ink-saver black and white, US Letter and A4

The Six Question Types

  • Fill the Gap: a sentence with one missing word, usually with its first letter as a hint
  • Definitions: a short definition with a first-letter hint, and students name the word
  • Opposites: students give the opposite of a word, often inside a sentence
  • Odd One Out: four words, and students find the one that does not belong and say why
  • Same Meaning: a sentence to say again with a word that means the same, first letter given
  • Word Partners: the everyday verb that goes with a word, like put on a coat or make an appointment

Every column mixes the topics of the level, so one board covers them all.

What Level A2 Covers

Shopping, travel, weather, jobs, health, free time, feelings and personality, opposites, words with the same meaning, everyday verb partners. This game is one of five levels (A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1), each with its own 30 questions, and no answer repeats between levels.

Clear Answers

On every answer slide the answer word is bold and green. Where a second word is also right, it is shown next to it (also: …), and the words are US English with a common UK word in brackets, so you can accept both. The printable cards and the teacher key use the same highlight (bold black in the ink-saver version).

Vocabulary and Grammar Together

It goes hand in hand with my ESL Grammar Review Quiz Game Level A2: the same board and the same level, so one game reviews the words and the other the grammar of A2.

Play It Without a Projector

Print the question cards double-sided and cut them apart. Lay them question-down on the table so students see only the question type and the dollar value, just like the board. A student picks a card, a partner reads the question and checks the answer printed on the card. The same cards work for pair drills, stations and one-to-one tutoring.

Daily Double and Final Question

The Daily Double hides behind one cell on the board. The team that picks it wagers any amount up to their total before seeing the question, and doubles that wager if they answer correctly. When the board is cleared, every team writes down a Final Question wager, the question is shown, and teams add or lose their wager. Highest total wins.

Works On

Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks. Project the slides. No student devices or logins required.

Important

Play in Slideshow (Present) mode so every cell, button, and link works. The sound buttons (thumbs up, thumbs down, and music) work in the PowerPoint version, which is included here. Google Slides does not play sounds, so those buttons are simply decorative in the Slides version.
