Funglish

The Funglish game is an absolute favorite for my students! They would play it every day if I let them. Funglish is a game similar to charades, but instead of acting something out to get them to guess, you can only give clues that involves using written words. One person is giving clues while everyone else guesses. The words are split by the clue giver into three categories: Definitely, Sometimes, Never.
Kids have to think about adjectives to describe their clue. The clues can be famous people, landmarks, animals, objects, etc. The adjectives are color coded to make the words a little easier to find. There are a lot of words, so it's a few minutes to set it all up. I don't use the timer with my students, but if you want to make it more challenging add that component! This is a game for more advanced children.

Here's how I use it!
Expressive:

• Articulation of sounds (you can have them say the word they are putting up)
• Discussion of the clue after is valuable (What other words would you have chosen that are not here? Do you know where that place is? Who is that person? Can anyone think of another word we should have used from the selection?)

Receptive:

• Understanding adjectives
• Categories 
• Part Whole concepts
• Understanding word relationships
• Vocabulary 

Social:​

• Waiting for our turn again
• Practicing not calling out! (This is hard!)
