This A1 Word Scramble exercise focuses on essential vocabulary related to professions and the world of work. It is an ideal activity to introduce or review key job titles (SINGER, ACTOR, DRIVER, WRITER) as well as associated concepts (CAREER, OFFICE). The playful approach encourages students to decode spelling by relying on clear definitions, thus ensuring active and effective memorization of the lexicon needed to talk about oneself and others.

Objective & Plot Summary
The pedagogical objective is to consolidate the recognition and spelling production of A1 vocabulary related to jobs, professions, and the workplace. The resource is a table of six scrambled words (Word Scramble), each associated with a descriptive hint, which is generally the definition of the profession or term (e.g., "A person who sings" or "A place you go to work"). Students must unscramble the mixed letters (e.g., GRENIS, FOFIEC) to find the correct words, which are **SINGER**, **ACTOR**, **DRIVER**, **WRITER**, **CAREER**, and **OFFICE**. The exercise highlights common profession suffixes (-ER, -OR).
Suggested Procedure
Before the activity (~5 min): VERB-NOUN LINK
-
Write the basic verbs associated with professions (SING, ACT, DRIVE, WRITE) on the board and ask students to form the corresponding person's name (SINGER, ACTOR, DRIVER, WRITER). This prepares them for lexical retrieval.
-
Remind students that the words 'CAREER' and 'OFFICE' are not people but work-related concepts, by checking their understanding of the hints "A job or profession" and "A place you go to work".
During the activity (~15-20 min): DECODING PROFESSIONS
-
Step 1: Students work independently to unscramble the six words. The task is guided by the hint to target the word, then by reorganizing the letters to validate the spelling (e.g., REVRDI → DRIVER).
-
Step 2: After completing the worksheet, students exchange their papers. Conduct a collective correction where words are slowly spelled out on the board, emphasizing the difference between *RERECA* (CAREER) and *FOFIEC* (OFFICE).
After the activity (~5-10 min): CAREER QUESTIONS
-
**Role-play:** In pairs, students ask each other simple questions about professions (e.g., "What is your father's CAREER?" "Do you want to be a WRITER?"). They must use at least three words from the list.
-
**Vocabulary extension:** Ask students to list other professions they know in English, such as *teacher* or *doctor*, and write the corresponding short definition (Hint).
Adaptations
-
To simplify: Provide the corresponding verbs (SING, ACT, DRIVE, WRITE) next to each hint to facilitate the transition from verb to job noun.
-
To deepen: Use these words to introduce the structure "A/An + profession" and the phrase "I want to be a..." Ask students to describe the place (OFFICE, stadium, etc.) where a given profession works.
