Game #5
Chinese Whispers
When someone is genuinely whispering, and therefore not using their voice, it’s nearly impossible to hear the difference between some words. For example: “bit” and “pit.” In a social situation where whispering is used we rely on context to fill out the meaning.
In the classroom, Chinese Whispers is a game that involves passing a message from student to student, hopefully without it getting changed too much. In order to play Chinese Whispers as a pronunciation game it might be best to allow speaking and to ask students to carry the message farther away where it can’t be overheard by others.
One student could be outside the door and you tell them what the message is. Then the second student goes outside and they tell them the message. The first student comes back in the classroom and sends the next student out. This goes on until every student has heard the secret word. The final student comes back into the classroom to say what they think the message was.
If the message contains words from your minimal pairs list, it will probably have changed, maybe more than once.

Game #4
Fruit Salad
This is generally a game where the players sit in a circle with one player standing in the middle. The players have each been designated as a type of fruit. The middle player calls a fruit, and all of the players who’ve been assigned that fruit must rush to change places while the middle player tries to take one of their chairs. Periodically they can call “fruit salad!” and then everyone must change places.
Instead of using the names of fruits, you can designate words containing minimal pairs to groups of students, and maybe choose another word for the “fruit salad!” command.
For example, as the students are sitting in the circle they “number off” one by one around the circle with:
“pea,” ” bee,” “pin,” “bin”
Then the person in the middle will call “pin!” or another given word to get their peers running around.

Game #3
Run and Grab
You could have your minimal pairs on flashcards or you could simply write two (or more) words at a time on the board.
· Create two teams and then pair students up with a member of the opposite team. In turn, each pair goes to stand at the back of the room, looking down an aisle at the board.
· When you call one of the minimal pairs out, the pair races to the front to touch the correct word (the odd word out) on the board or grab the appropriate flashcard.
· Students from the winning team could have a turn at calling the words for others to run to.
Younger students especially enjoy activities that include movement and a chance to race, but older students also find it enjoyable.

Game #2
Minimal Pairs Bingo
This is one of the easiest ways to focus on particular pairs of sounds.
A Bingo card commonly has 5 x 5 squares, so you can use 25 words (12 minimal pairs, or more than two words for some sounds). One or more spaces on each card could be a “free” spot, or you could change the size, maybe to 4 x 4. (I have found that 25 words works well for a full lesson, and everyone will be able to learn them all by the end.)
You simply type in the words you want to use, choose how many individual cards you need and then let the program randomize the cards so that they each have a different arrangement of the same words.
· Have a spare card cut up into individual squares that you can jumble and use to call the words.
· Don’t let the students mark their cards. Provide markers such as small stones or sunflower seeds that they can put on each word as they hear it (and then remove to play again).
· If you have “free” spots they can start the game by putting markers on those.
· The first student to get five markers in a row in any direction calls “Bingo!”
· Students remove their markers and a new game starts with the winner as the new caller.
· After a game or two the students can swap cards to get a different arrangement of words to look at.
At the end of the lesson you can review the words and target sounds with the whole class.
This activity can give students the opportunity to hear the difference between the minimal pairs, recognize the different words written on the card and clearly pronounce the difference when they win and have a chance to be the caller. As each word is called, students tend to all say it quietly to themselves as well.

Game #1
Pronunciation maze.
This game also allows them to use a little bit of logical problem solving to help with a pronunciation task.
· In a grid, write a string of words with a common sound, e.g. the same vowel sound, between the top left corner and the bottom right corner. In all the other squares
· Write in words that people might think have the same sound but do not.
· Students then have to get from the starting point to the end by the right route.
· After they have finished, drill the words on the right route,
· Then all the surrounding ones with different sounds.
