The Student participation encouraging aspect of the lesson

The students are asked to play “Hot seat” game.

• First, the teacher splits the class into different teams
• The teacher sits the students facing the board.
• Then she 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 she gets one member from each team to come up and sit in that chair, so they are facing their teammates and have their back to the board.
• The teacher has a list of vocabulary items.
• The teacher takes the first word from that list and writes it clearly 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 teammate who is in the hot seat - that person cannot 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 the teacher changes the students over, with a new member of each team taking their place in their team's hot seat.
• Then write the next word…
