This A1 Word Scramble exercise is a dynamic resource focused on fundamental everyday action verbs (see, listen, talk, walk, cook, sleep). It is ideal for consolidating the understanding and spelling of these essential words at the beginning of learning. By providing clear descriptive clues ("To say words," "To rest at night"), it stimulates lexical retrieval through context. It's an excellent way to strengthen the verbal foundation needed for describing routines and abilities.

Objective & Activity Overview

The pedagogical objective is to master the spelling and recognition of basic A1 action verbs, necessary for describing abilities and routines. The resource is a word scramble exercise offering six words to decipher. Each word (e.g., ESE, NETLIS) is associated with an action definition (Hint) (e.g., "To look with your eyes", "To hear with your ears"). Students must unscramble the mixed-up letters to find the correct verbs: SEE, LISTEN, WALK, TALK, COOK, and SLEEP. The exercise helps link the verb to its concrete action and context.

Suggested Procedure

Before the activity (~5 min): VERB MIMES

  • Lead a quick mime game: the teacher mimes one of the actions (sleep, cook, walk) and students must say the verb in English (SLEEP, COOK, WALK).

  • Draw attention to spelling difficulties such as LISTEN (with the silent 'T') and close pairs like WALK and TALK (KLAW, KLAT).

During the activity (~10-15 min): DECODING ACTIONS

  • Step 1: Students work individually to decode all verbs. They can circle the letters in the jumbled word to help with reorganization.

  • Step 2: Ask students to stop after solving. For correction, ask one student to give the clue, then mime the action, before revealing the verb and its spelling.

  • Step 3: Emphasize the structure of the verbs. For example, SEE and COOK are short, while LISTEN is longer and contains silent letters.

After the activity (~5-10 min): CREATE A SCHEDULE

  • Daily Schedule: Ask students to write three (A1) sentences describing their usual actions using verbs in the simple present tense (Ex: "I COOK dinner at 7 PM." "I SLEEP for eight hours.").

  • Questions/Answers: In pairs, students ask each other about their abilities using 'Can you...' (Ex: "Can you COOK?"). They should answer using 'Yes, I can' or 'No, I can't'.

Adaptations

  • To simplify: Replace the exercise with a matching activity: provide the clue table and the answers written in disorder (SEE, LISTEN, etc.) and ask students to match the clue with the correct answer.

  • To extend: Introduce notions of frequency (always, usually) and ask students to reuse the verbs to describe their habits with adverbs (Ex: "I usually WALK to school.").
