Hi friends! Today I am telling you about a really great game. It is not just a way to pass the time but also to exercise your brain and improve your English. We all use English in our everyday lives, right? At work, at study, on mobile. So why not learn some new words in a fun way?
You can play this game anywhere - in the evening with your family, with your friends, or even with your kids to help them with their studies. It is very simple but also very effective for your vocabulary.
So, let's see how to play this word meaning game.
What do you need to play?
You don't need to buy anything from the market. All you need are:
- Two or more players (you and one of your friends are enough).
- A pen or pencil.
- A piece of paper. You can also use a notebook ok.
How to play the game? It's very simple!
First, you have to make a grid of boxes on your paper. Like 10x10 or 15x15 boxes. You can decide how many boxes you want. The more boxes, the more the challenge!
Now, the rules are simple:
Turn: Each player will get one chance to write. In your turn, you only have to fill one empty box with one letter.
Make words: Your main objective is to make the correct English word. You can make words from left to right (like reading a book) or from top to bottom (like going downstairs).
Give the meaning: This is the most important part! When you or your friend make a word, you have to say its meaning. If you don't know, you can ask. For example, if someone makes the word "ME", you have to say its meaning - "me" or "myself".
Get Points: You get points for making a word and finding its meaning.
- For a two letter word, you get 2 points.
- For a 3 letter word, you get 3 points.
- For a 6 letter long word, you get 6 points! So, making long words is very beneficial.
Important rule: The word must be the correct English word. The spelling must be correct. Words with reverse or wrong spellings will not get any points.
A small example for your understanding
See, here two players are playing. First, player 1 writes the letter 'C' in a box.
Then, player 2 writes the letter 'A' next to it. Now, the word is "CA". It is not a proper word. So no points.
Then, player 1 writes the letter 'R' next to 'A'. Now, from left to right, the word is "CAR". It is a correct word! It means "Gaadi". So player 1 gets 3 points.
The game continues like this. It gets very interesting when the boxes start filling up!
Why is this game so useful for you?
Friends, this is not just a game. It is like a hidden teacher.
- Strengthen vocabulary: You will learn a lot of new words without even trying. When your friend makes a word like "QUIZ", you will remember its meaning ("quiz") for a long time.
- Correct spelling: Many times we speak English but make spelling mistakes. In this game, if the spelling is wrong, you will get zero points. This way you will also learn the correct spelling.
- Keep your brain sharp: You have to think where to write your letter so that you can make a bigger word and get more points. It is a great mental exercise.
- Fun with family: Instead of just watching the mobile, play this game with your children. They will have fun and they will also learn. It is a good way to have a good time.
- For Exam Preparation: If you are preparing for any government job exam or competitive exam, then English vocabulary is very important. This game turns that boring studying into a fun activity.
