Vocabulary Building game



Hopefully many English students have a goal to improve their English, maybe just for communication, job, or hobby. But some students like to test their abilities with the TOEIC, IELTS, or here in Japan the Eiken test.

To build vocabulary you should try this interesting game:

First, draw a 3x3 square much like a tic tac toe board.
Then, add in words you would like to learn or improve.
Finally, build sentences with those words.

Here is an example with adjectives:


You can use this game to study by yourself, with a friend, or in a class.

To help you out with this board here are the definitions of these adjectives;

Conservative: resisting change; cautious

Emergency: in sudden need
Fluent: articulate; flowing; able to read and write with ease
Germane: pertinent; relevant; connected
Inventive: creative; new; original
Perfect: flawless; undamaged
Portable: capable of being carried or moved
Regular: normal; standard; recurring
Slight: small of its kind or amount

Feel free to put your sentences in the comments below or post your own game board.

Happy learning!
