Your guess is as good as mine (vocabulary revision part 3)

The second version of the activity(see my previous post) is just slightly different. This version can be used with any vocabulary set that you want to review or reuse, such as from a previous lesson. Let students work individually or divide them into teams and assign one, two, or three words that you would like them to reuse. Instruct the students to write a short story in three sentences incorporating the assigned words. Then, allow each team to read out their stories and have the other teams guess the words in the story.

This exercise not only reinforces students’ memory of the vocabulary but also enables them to check the meaning and understanding of the words by using them correctly in a sentence.
