It provides classroom procedures for whole-class grouping by theme using picture cards, then repeating target sentences to reinforce meaning. It also covers ordering activities where pairs arrange story and action cards to match a narrative sequence, retell from memory, and self-check via flipped cards. Additional guidance includes labeling classroom objects and managing board or card game rules to practice and assess word knowledge.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/container-cards-combining-activities-word-recognition-and-grouping-practice/414246/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/container-cards-combining-activities-word-recognition-and-grouping-practice/414246.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Bulrr","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How does the “Combining Activities” game work in a whole class setting?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The teacher posts different theme topics in the classroom corners.

Combining Activities  \nThese games ask participants to act on certain information in order to arrange themselves in groups according to a theme given by the teacher.  \n• Categories  \nLevel: Beginner to Advanced  \nMaterials: cards  \nProcedure: This is a whole class activity. Before the activity starts I post different topics in each of the four corners ofthe classroom. The topics can be: fruit, vegetable, drink etc. Each participant gets three cards with a picture on it. The cards represent a word from the posted topics. When I call out a word, the students have to check their cards whether they have it. If yes then they go to the corner that their picture belongs to. After each  \nstudent has used his or her car they repeat their words like: The apple is a fruit.  \nObject of the Game: to find out what the pictures represent and where they belong to. It is a good practice activity.  \nPossible Themes: family members, countries and nationalities, faces, adjectives to describe people, animals, clothing articles, colors, numbers, seasons, days of the week, months of the year, food and drink, hobbies and sports, everyday actions, means of transportation, jobs, rooms in the house and furniture, school subjects or school supplies, places in a town, shops, weather related words, materials.  \n[https://en.islcollective.com](https://en.islcollective.com)  \n7. Arranging Games/ Ordering Games  \nPlayers must arrange the acquired information in a specific order. Items to be arranged can be pictures, events in a text, or even the players themselves.  \n• Everyday Actions  \nLevel: Beginner to Advanced  \nMaterials: story cards, action cards  \nProcedure: Students work in pairs. Each pair gets a story card with Sanjay’s day and its set ofaction cards (in muddled order) . One student should take the story the other should spread the cards out in front of her. The first student has to read the story, while the second arranges the pictures in order to tell the story. The purpose of the game is to get the pictures arranged in the same order as the story. When they have finished, they can put the story away, and retell it from memory using the pictures. They can check as they go by turning the pictures over to see the words on the back. Then repeat the activity with another story, with the second student telling the story this time.  \nObjective of the Activity: to acquire vocabulary by associating the image with the spoken text, and order them sequentially.  \nPossible Themes: family members, countries and nationalities, faces, adjectives to describe people, animals, clothing articles, colors, numbers, seasons, days of the week, months of the year, food and drink, hobbies and sports, everyday actions, means of transportation, jobs, rooms in the house and furniture, school subjects or school supplies, places in a town, shops, weather related words, materials.  \nStory 1: Sanjay’s Day  \nSanjay’s alarm clock rings at 7.00, but he usually turns over and goes back to sleep because he’s tired. Sometimes, he throws the alarm clock across the room. So he wakes up late and runs into the bathroom to wash and brush his teeth. He doesn’t have time to have a shower. He goes downstairs and turns the radio on to listen to music while he has breakfast. He doesn’t have time to eat and he has to drink his tea in a hurry, because he’s always so late. He leaves the house and runs to the bus stop to catch his bus. He gets to college at 9.00 (well, usually at 9 . 20!) and finishes at 4.00. He comes home at about 4.30 and has dinner. After dinner, he sometimes watches TV, but he usually goes out with friends. He comes ho-me late- 2 or 3 o’clock sometimes-and goes to bed and sleeps at once.  \nEveryday Actions-Story and Action cards  \n(Elementary Vocabulary Games-Jill Hadfield; 1998: 86)  \n• Label it!  \nLevel: Beginner to Advanced  \nMaterials: written cards  \nProcedure: This works well with beginners ofa","cbCait6NzXSEYssc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait6NzXSEYssc","pdf",1422046,18,"English","# 6.
