Game Instructions for Vocabulary
Definitions Game, Pasapalabra
Pasapalabra is a fun, interactive vocabulary game during which
students watch a brief segment of the game as it is played in
Spain. After viewing the video, the students play this game in
teams.
There are 5 games included with this product. Each of the
games has vocabulary definitions from A to Z. There are both
Power Points and word documents that the teacher can use
to play this game with students.
The teacher sets the timer for one minute. During this
minute, the first member of team #1 reads the definition for
the word that begins with A. The first student on Team #2
guesses this word that begins with the letter A. If the team
#2 student guesses correctly, they get 1 point and the game
continues with the next student on team #1 reading the
definition for the letter B word while student #2 from Team
#2 guesses. If at any time during the minute a student cannot
guess the word correctly, he/she says, “Pasapalabra”, the next
clue is read and the next student attempts to guess the word
that begins with C. When the minute is up, the teacher
counts the number of correct answers that team #1 earned
and Team #2 gets the opportunity to continue playing through
the alphabet.
The teacher can play this game for a set amount of time or the
teacher can play an entire game from A to Z. The team with
the highest amount of points wins the game!
