Matching Activities

These kind of activities are very used for teachers and students, they are very easy, flexible and funny.

They require a lot of previous work, or the teacher can ask for help a couple of responsible students.

You can create your own, or look on the internet for some examples.

The most common activity is a worksheet, or to make it more interactive make some paper straps (big ones) so the whole class can see them and come to the board to answer the exercise.

I love them because you can do whatever you want. I mean:

a)        Word + definition

b)        Word + pictures

c)        Verbs (i.e. Present + past)

d)        Phrases (i.e. Conditionals)

If you have access to internet and invective programs, it will save you lot of work and time; that is even more attractive for the students.
