Transcript

If you're a teacher and you have a spare five minutes you have to play this game. So you have two seats at the front for two students to versus each other. This student says any letter. This student says any letter. One student said H. One student said T. The teacher quickly writes both letters on the board. And the first student out of these two students says a word that begins with H. And the other student says a word that begins with T. This is the winner. So with H and T it'd be like hat or halt. But you'll encounter one problem if one student says B and the other student says B. Don't put B twice. I learned that the hard way. Seriously though, my grade sixes loved it today and they can work on a bit of spelling.
