Objective & Plot Summary

The main pedagogical objective is to consolidate the spelling and meaning of essential English vocabulary for A1, A2, and B1 levels, using rephrasing and puzzle-solving. The resource is a series of 20 "Word Scramble" games for A1 level [cite: 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, 32, 38, 44, 50, 56, 62, 68, 74, 80, 86, 92, 98, 104, 110, 116], 20 sets for A2 level [cite: 122, 128, 134, 140, 146, 152, 158, 164, 170, 176, 182, 188, 194, 200, 206, 212, 218, 224, 230, 236] and 20 sets for B1 level[cite: 242, 248, 254, 260, 266, 272, 278, 284, 290, 296, 302, 308, 314, 320, 326, 332, 338, 344, 350, 356]. Each set presents a series of hints ("Hint") [cite: 4, 10, 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, 46, 52, 58, 64, 70, 76, 82, 88, 94, 100, 106, 112, 118, 124, 130, 136, 142, 148, 154, 160, 166, 172, 178, 184, 190, 196, 202, 208, 214, 220, 226, 232, 238, 244, 250, 256, 262, 268, 274, 280, 286, 292, 298, 304, 310, 316, 322, 328, 334, 340, 346, 352, 358], a scrambled version of the word to be found ("Scrambled Word") [cite: 4, 10, 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, 46, 52, 58, 64, 70, 76, 82, 88, 94, 100, 106, 112, 118, 124, 130, 136, 142, 148, 154, 160, 166, 172, 178, 184, 190, 196, 202, 208, 214, 220, 226, 232, 238, 244, 250, 256, 262, 268, 274, 280, 286, 292, 298, 304, 310, 316, 322, 328, 334, 340, 346, 352, 358] and an empty column for the answer ("Answer")[cite: 4, 10, 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, 46, 52, 58, 64, 70, 76, 82, 88, 94, 100, 106, 112, 118, 124, 130, 136, 142, 148, 154, 160, 166, 172, 178, 184, 190, 196, 202, 208, 214, 220, 226, 232, 238, 244, 250, 256, 262, 268, 274, 280, 286, 292, 298, 304, 310, 316, 322, 328, 334, 340, 346, 352, 358]. Themes vary from food (Set 1) [cite: 4] and animals (Set 15) [cite: 88, 90] to more abstract notions for higher levels such as finance (Set 5) [cite: 268] or education (Set 10)[cite: 298]. The activity is designed for vocabulary learning and spelling practice[cite: 3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 45, 51, 57, 63, 69, 75, 81, 87, 93, 99, 105, 111, 117, 123, 129, 135, 141, 147, 153, 159, 165, 171, 177, 183, 189, 195, 201, 207, 213, 219, 225, 231, 237, 243, 249, 255, 261, 267, 273, 279, 285, 291, 297, 303, 309, 315, 321, 327, 333, 339, 345, 351, 357].

Suggested Flow

Before the activity (~5 min): THEMATIC WARM-UP

  • Write the title of the selected Set (e.g.: "A1 Vocabulary - Set 1: Food & Basics" [cite: 2]) on the board and ask students to individually list 3 words they expect to find in this theme (activating prior knowledge).

  • Solve the first scrambled word collectively (e.g.: PLEAP for APPLE [cite: 4]) to ensure everyone understands the instruction "Unscramble the letters to make a word!"[cite: 3].

During the activity (~15-20 min): DECODING AND COOPERATION

  • Step 1: Individual Resolution. Students fill in the "Answer" column independently, using the "Hint" column for help, which strengthens reading comprehension (RC) and autonomy. The teacher circulates to provide occasional assistance.

  • Step 2: Pair Check. Students work in pairs and compare their answers. In case of disagreement, they must argue in English to justify their choice or find the answer together, fostering oral interaction (OI).

  • Step 3: Collective Correction and Rephrasing. The teacher corrects. For each word, they ask a student to give the word, then to use the hint to make a complete sentence (e.g.: "A red or green fruit is an apple." [cite: 4]).

After the activity (~10-15 min): CREATION AND REUSE

  • **Oral/Written Production (OP/WP):** Ask students to choose 3 words from the set they just completed and write or say 3 original sentences using these words in a context different from the hint provided (e.g.: instead of "A place for students"[cite: 4], the sentence could be "I walk to school with my friends every day.").

  • **"Create Your Own Scramble" Challenge:** Students invent a new scrambled word on the same theme for their neighbor, with an original hint, and the neighbor must solve it.

Adaptations

  • To simplify: Provide a word bank of unscrambled words from the chosen set (the "Answers") in advance. Students must first match the words (Answer) to the hints (Hint), and then only decode the scrambled word (Scrambled Word), transforming the activity into a double association (meaning/spelling).

  • To deepen: Use a higher-level set (e.g.: B1 for an A2 class)[cite: 242, 248]. Ask students to find a synonym or antonym for each word found, or to classify the words by grammatical categories (verb, noun, adjective).
