Fun With Categorizing - People You Know


Create some general categories that could describe people.  Here are some suggestions to get you started.

  • athletic
  • bookish
  • shy

Now take turns naming people you know and placing them into your categories.  Remember one person could fit into several categories.  (Please use only positive descriptions.)

Play A Word Game - Short, Long, Schwa


This is a game of vowel sounds.  Player one starts with the letter 'a' naming a word that contains that letter and is pronounced with the short vowel sound.

  • fan

Player two must name a word that uses the letter 'a' and has a long vowel sound.

  • flame

Player three must think of a word containing the letter 'a' in which the 'a' is pronounced with the schwa sound of 'uh'.

  • banana (the first 'a' has the schwa sound)

Player four names a word that has the short letter 'e' sound.

  • gem

Continue through to the letter 'u' then start with the letter 'a' again finding different words to express the vowel sounds.  If your group number is divisible by 3, skip player one on the next round so each player gets a different vowel sound to exemplify.
