In the manner of the word: a game for teaching vocabulary

This lesson plan involves the use of a game (In the Manner of the Word) for the teaching of English vocabulary. It is designed as a warm-up or a main activity. As with all classroom games, the focus is on active participation and team building among peers. It should not be seen as a simple ice-breaker, but as a serious attempt to engage students in collaborative learning with a bit of fun.
