Minimal pairs card hold-up
Improve your students’ knowledge of proper pronunciation with this quick-fire game, which is good for reinforcing phonics lessons.
The game plan:
Give a set of pre-prepared word cards to each team (there can be as many teams as you want, depending on how many card sets you have). Go here for a useful list of minimal pairs.
Students spread the word cards out on a table.
Call a word out. For example: “feet!” The students have to search their decks and hold up that word’s card as fast as possible.
