This A1 Word Scramble is an essential resource for solidifying vocabulary related to expressing time, a central concept in early learning. By engaging students in a fun challenge, it facilitates the memorization of the spelling of fundamental terms like YESTERDAY, TOMORROW, and units of time (HOUR, MINUTE). It allows teachers to quickly check mastery of chronological vocabulary, an indispensable prerequisite for expressing routines and past/future events.

Objective & Plot Summary
The pedagogical objective is to consolidate the recognition and spelling of key time markers (past/future days, units of measurement) at A1 level. The resource is a word scramble exercise featuring six words to decipher. Each scrambled word (e.g., DATSYEREY, MORROTOW, RUOH) is associated with a hint that defines it temporally (e.g., "The day before today", "The day after today", "60 minutes"). Students must use their knowledge to identify the words **YESTERDAY**, **TOMORROW**, **HOUR**, **MINUTE**, **WEEK**, and **AFTERNOON**, then reconstruct them with correct spelling from the jumbled letters.
Suggested Procedure
Before the activity (~5 min): CALENDAR AND CLOCK
Activate vocabulary orally: ask students "What day is today?", "What day was YESTERDAY?", "What day is TOMORROW?" to orient them in time.
Emphasize predictable spelling difficulties, particularly long words like **TOMORROW** and **YESTERDAY**, to encourage caution during deciphering.
During the activity (~15-20 min): DECODING CHRONOLOGY
Step 1: Students work individually on the six words. They focus on the word structure, especially the presence of double letters in **TOMORROW** or the structure of **AFTERNOON**.
Step 2: After 10 minutes, conduct a partial correction of the first two words (YESTERDAY, TOMORROW). Ask a student to spell them on the board to help those struggling with long spellings.
Step 3: Finalize the correction of the other four words (HOUR, MINUTE, WEEK, AFTERNOON). Emphasize the pronunciation of the silent 'h' in **HOUR** and the link between "week" and "seven days".
After the activity (~5-10 min): PLAN THE ACTION
**Personal Planning:** Ask students to write three simple sentences (A1) using **YESTERDAY**, **TODAY**, and **TOMORROW** to talk about their activities (Ex: "I watched TV YESTERDAY." "I will play football TOMORROW.").
**Definitions Game:** In pairs, ask students to create a new *Word Scramble* challenge using the discovered words and writing their own hints (e.g., "The time between lunch and dinner" $ ightarrow$ AFTERNOON).
Adaptations
To simplify: Provide the exact number of letters for each word to be deciphered, thus facilitating the rearrangement of letters.
To extend: Introduce associated prepositions of time: *on* for **WEEK**, *in the* for **AFTERNOON**, *at* for **HOUR** and **MINUTE**. Ask for complex sentences using these prepositions.
