Introduction.
Vocabulary Games and Activities 1 is a source book for teachers, containing a collection of sixty games and activities for teaching and revising vocabulary. They range from elementary to advanced activities, the majority of which contain material to be photocopied. It is hoped they will provide useful extra material which will be of interest to most students and show that vocabulary learning can be both interesting and fun. The lexical items in the book have been carefully chosen, with many words taken from the author's Test Your Vocabulary and Target Vocabulary series (also published by Penguin Books). In addition, where possible many words are recycled in different exercises. Activities invariably have to be changed or adapted to suit one's own particular group of students, so I hope teachers will feel free to make any changes they feel necessary. What is presented in Vocabulary Games and Activities 1 is, to a large extent, ideas which I hope will stimulate and encourage teachers to devise their own activities based on these ideas.
