Class telephone list
This activity is designed to be taught with Exercise 2, "What's the Question?"
Time: 10–15 minutes. This useful activity involves spelling names and writing down phone numbers.
- Tell the students that they are going to make a class phone list, which might be helpful to have if they need to call a classmate to check on a homework assignment or something they missed because of an absence. Write this example on the board:
| English Class Telephone List |
| First name |
|
Last name |
|
Phone number |
| Pedro |
|
Garcia |
|
(310) 632-0573 |
| Yoko |
|
Morita |
|
(213) 845-9921 |
- Model or elicit the kinds of questions students need to ask and write them on the board, like this:
What's your first/last name? How do you spell it?
What's your telephone number?
- Students get up and go around the class to get the information to make their own phone lists.

Game – Hangman
This activity is designed to be taught with Exercise 5, "TV and Radio."
Time: 20 minutes. This popular activity can review vocabulary in any unit; it also allows students to practice spelling words. (Note: In Unit 10, the focus could be on past participle verb forms.)
- Students form large groups of five or six. Each group chooses a word from the unit. Point out that this game is somewhat similar to the popular TV game show in North America called Wheel of Fortune.
- Groups take turns going to the board. There, one group draws a hangman diagram and blanks – one blank for each letter of the word they have chosen.
- Other groups take turns guessing which letters are in the word. If a group guesses a correct letter, it is written in the appropriate blank on the board; if it is incorrect, one part of the body is drawn on the hangman's gallows. There are nine body parts, which are drawn in this order: head, neck, left arm, right arm, body, left leg, right leg, left foot, and right foot.
- The object of the game is for a group to guess the correct word before the picture of the hangman's body is completed. The group who guesses the word is the winner and gets to be "it," i.e., has a chance to be at the board. If there is enough classtime, play until every group has won and gotten a chance to be "it."
