I’m Thinking Of A Person

A great game to work on phonemic awareness with your younger students while reviewing vocabulary and student names.

Skill Level: Beginning students.

Materials: None.

Instructions:
Students sit in a circle with the teacher. The teacher uses whatever vocabulary has been reviewed in class to describe a student using the following script:
“I’m thinking of a student who is (wearing red/tall/has black hair) and whose name is…”
Rather than saying the student’s name the teacher claps the syllables of the name.
Students guess which student was described by the teacher.
