This A1 Word Scramble is an excellent resource for consolidating essential vocabulary related to places and urban geography. It allows students to master the spelling of common terms like AIRPORT, LIBRARY, and CITY by associating them with clear functional definitions. The engaging approach of unscrambling words is ideal for anchoring the lexicon of places (home, city, road, shop), thus preparing students to describe their environment and locate themselves.

Objective & Activity Overview

The pedagogical objective is to reinforce the recognition and spelling accuracy of A1 level vocabulary related to places (public, private, and travel). The resource is a word scramble exercise with six terms. Each scrambled word (e.g., TRIPORTA, RARBILLY, YITC) is associated with a descriptive clue that defines its function or context (e.g., "A place with planes", "A place to read books", "A place with many houses"). Students must decipher the letters to reconstruct the correct words: **ROOM**, **AIRPORT**, **SHOP**, **LIBRARY**, **CITY**, and **ROAD**. The exercise covers various environments, from home to travel.


Suggested Activity Flow

Before the activity (~5 min): CLASSIFYING PLACES

  • Write the categories on the board: *Home*, *City*, *Travel*. Ask students to list one or two places they know in English under each category to activate their lexicon.

  • Highlight spelling difficulties such as **RARBILLY** (LIBRARY) and **TRIPORTA** (AIRPORT) to encourage attention.

During the activity (~15-20 min): DECIPHERING PLACES

  • Step 1: Timed individual work. Students use the clue to find the word and the jumbled letters to verify the spelling.

  • Step 2: Ask students to focus on short words (ROOM, SHOP, CITY, ROAD) first to gain fluency, then to tackle long words (AIRPORT, LIBRARY).

  • Step 3: Whole-class correction. For each word, ask "Where do you go to..." and the student answers with the decoded word, reinforcing the link between the place and its function.

After the activity (~5-10 min): LOCATION AND PREPOSITIONS

  • **Sentence Production:** Ask students to write two (A1) sentences describing where they like to go using the discovered words and prepositions of place (*in, at, to*) (Ex: "I like to go to the **LIBRARY**." "I live in a **CITY**.").

  • **Mental Mapping:** Ask students to draw a very simple map of their neighborhood or home and label at least three places from the list.


Adaptations

  • To simplify: Divide the words into two groups (short and long) and provide the answers for the short words in advance to reduce cognitive load.

  • To extend: Introduce associated adjectives (Ex: *busy* **CITY**, *long* **ROAD**, *quiet* **LIBRARY**). Ask students to create new clues for A2 places like *museum* or *post office*.
