[CHARADES]

Getting students up and moving in the classroom is a great way to keep them focused. Charades is a game that most students already know, so it’s easy to use for teaching phrasal verbs.



Cut up the verbs and place them into a hat or bowl. Students can draw the phrasal verb and must act it out without using any words or sign language.



Decide whether hand-raising or calling out is better for this game, based on your classroom and students. Either way, the person who guesses the phrasal verb correctly gets to go next!



[Taboo: For When Charades Gets Old]

You can only play charades so many times! Taboo is another option that not only allows you to change it up a little bit, but also affords the student an on-the-spot opportunity to speak a bit too.



Taboo is a card game that you can easily recreate in the classroom. You can either use folded pieces of paper, as in charades, or you can make your own laminated cards to reuse time and time again.



The idea of Taboo is that you must describe a word (in this case, phrasal verb), without using the words on the card. Here’s an example:



For “grow up,” a student could say, “This means when children are getting older.” The student can keep talking and giving more clues until another student finds the right answer, but they cannot use the word “grow” or “up.”



For more advanced learners, you can make the game more challenging by adding a few extra “taboo” words to each card, such as “age,” “older” and “children” for the “grow up” card.



They’ll have to be more creative in their descriptions, and might give a clue such as, “When you are born, you are small, but you do this and become an adult.”

This is a list of some of the most common phrasal verbs. They have pictures to make it more enjoyable and easier for the students. With this handout, teachers can easily guide students to let them learn those phrasal verbs and teachers can make extra fun activities in class to make it more attractive. 

List of Phrasal Verbs 

This game can only be played with even numbers. If you have a group of odd numbers then you should join in the game to make up the numbers. Print out the cards and laminate. For a game of two players just give them a pack of 1 colour (yellow or blue) each. Groups of four shouldn’t be a problem. Players put their cards in front of them face down. Players take it in turns to place a card in the middle, word side up – without looking at it first. When the card lands in the centre of the table, all the players should say the word. If a card lands on top of a card that has the same meaning somebody must say “snap!” to win that round. After saying snap, the winner must say the meaning for both words correctly. The winner then takes all the cards in the centre and places them next to their pile. The winner of the game is the person with the most cards.

Phrasal verb snap 1

As an ESL teacher, I noticed a gap in phrasal verb practice—there aren’t enough structured tasks online, and many resources overwhelm A2-level students with too many verbs at once. 
 This comic-style story introduces essential phrasal verbs in context, making it fun and easy for students to learn.
