Procedure:

●       Teacher splits the class into different teams (two is best, but if you have a large class, any number could be used).

●       The students sit facing the board.

●       Teacher takes an empty chair - one for each team and puts it at the front of the class, facing the team members. These chairs are the 'hot seats'.

●       Then the teacher gets one member from each team to come up and sit in that chair, so they are facing their team-mates and have their back to the board.

●       The teacher writes one of the words on the board.

●       The aim of the game is for the students in the teams to describe that word, using synonyms, antonyms, definitions etc. to their team mate who is in the hot seat - that person can't see the word!

●       The student in the hot seat listens to their teammates and tries to guess the word.

●       The first hot seat student to say the word wins a point for their team.

●       Then change the students over, with a new member of each team taking their place in their team's hot seat.

The students use the definitions of the words learned at the previous lesson
