Seasons Vocabulary Games

Seasons Vocabulary Games

Your teacher or a classmate will call out or show words connected to spring, summer,
autumn or winter. Do the action below that you have been told to so that you can show
that you understand:

-

Run and touch one of the four walls

-

Point at one of the four walls

-

Pretend to shoot one of the four walls

-

Throw something at one of four walls (perhaps while someone tries to block your
throw)

-

Throw something at the four seasons on the whiteboard

-

Pretend to shoot at seasons flashcards

-

Hold up and turn around double-sided seasons flashcards

-

Hold up one of your arms or legs to represent the four seasons

-

Slap seasons flashcards on the table

Brainstorm words into those four categories, drawing anything which you can’t write in
English. They can be words that you heard in the last game or different words.

holding up flashcards version, e.g. “Spring” and “Summer” cut out together and then
folded to be back to back.
