Months- Hangman

Months hangman guessing game

months spelling practice/ Present Simple speaking

 

Instructions

Choose one of these months:

• January
• February
• March
• April
• May
• June
• July
• August
• September
• October
• November
• December

Draw a blank line on the board or a piece of paper to represent the name of the month that you chose (“___________________________”). (Don’t write short gaps for each letter like normal hangman, because this will make the game too easy).

Give one hint about which month you are thinking of, using a phrase like those below. Your partner can then guess one letter of the month that you are thinking of, e.g. “T”. If the month that you chose has that letter, write that letter in the correct place on the blank line. If the month that you chose doesn’t include that letter, then write the letter outside the line and draw a cross through it instead. Continue until your partner spells the whole month that you chose, then switch roles and try to guess the month that your partner chooses in the same way. Continue switching roles and doing the same until the teacher stops the game. The person who guesses a whole month with fewest crosses (e.g. just one cross in the seventh round) wins the whole game.

Ask about any hints below you don’t understand, can’t link to a month, etc, working together to link those statements to particular months each time.

Choose one month and take turns making statements about it until someone repeats what has been said, says something untrue, or gives up. Then do the same with other months.
