Word Games

I know that most of you have been working hard lately for your English exams - FCE, IGCSE, IELTS - so I thought I'd give you a break from grammar and vocabulary, listening , reading and writing by suggesting some English word games. While you are having fun, you can also improve your vocabulary. And good luck to all those of you who are taking the FCE today.

A. Words within Words

This is a very common game. The aim is to make as many words as possible from one single word. You can only use the letters from that word and use each letter only once in the new word. For example, from the word STRANGER you can make the following new words:

strange, range, great, grate, grant, anger, stag, gnat, seat, stage, rage, etc

How many words can you make from the following words?

EXAMINATION / UNIVERSAL / INSTITUTION

B. Anagrams

An anagram uses all the letters of a word and rearranges them to make another word.

Example:

READ = DARE, DEPART = PARTED

Anagrams are often used as clues in crosswords. Can you work out from the clues what these anagrams are?

LEAP - not very dark

MELONS - feeling rather serious and subdued

PRAISED - hopelessness

CARTHORSE - a number of people making music

EXCITATION - to make someone drunk

C. Rebus

A rebus uses words, numbers, symbols or pictures to represent words or syllables.

Example:

T42 = tea for two

Can you work out the following?

IOU

B4

NE1

NME

2 good 2B4 gotten

YYUR YYUB ICUR YY4me
