D3. Word derivation
Divide the class into four groups. Your teacher will hand out cards that have ten verbs and their
derivative words in four columns. Each group should try to form four sentences using a chosen verb
and its derivative words. The first group to come up with all four correct sentences for a row will earn
four points and the team can claim that horizontal line. That verb and its derivatives cannot be used by
other groups. In this way sentences have to be made using all ten verbs and their derivative words. The
group that gets the highest points wins.

D4. Draw and enact the words

Divide the class into two teams: Team A and Team B. Your teacher will place a box with slips
of paper inside. Each slip will have two words with similar spellings or pronunciation on it. Two
students from Team A will come forward to choose a slip of paper. They have to draw suitable
pictures on the blackboard to explain the words to their teammates. They can also enact the
words using actions and gestures only. Their team must guess the correct words within three
minutes. Each correct guess fetches five points. If you guess both words correctly, you get ten
points. Then the members will hand over the slip to the teacher. Now the process will repeat for
Team B. The game will continue till all the slips are used up. The team that gets the maximum
points at the end wins.
