Stop the Bus! – A Vocabulary Review Game

Stop the Bus! is the same as Scattegories if you are familiar with the family-fun US board game.
How to Play:
1) Split the class into small teams.
2) Draw three columns on the board and write a different category above each column, for example, countries, fruits, and colors.
3) Write a letter of the alphabet in the upper-left corner of the board. Students must then write a word in each column corresponding to the category and starting with the first letter written on the board. For example, if the letter is “B”, students could write Brazil, banana, and blue. When teams finish, they need to shout, “Stop the Bus!” The first team to shout, “stop the bus” and have correct answers scores a point.
After each round you can ask for more examples of words starting with the chosen letter in a given category to review some more. I’ve found this to be a really good game to start off lessons with, especially for lower levels.
