Alphabet+Soup

created by Larry Newman

Write a letter of the alphabet on a separate notecard. There several ways you can play this game.
 * Directions:**

1. Give each student a card and ask the class to create as many words as they can that relate to the content of that unit. Once they have created a word, the group should call your attention to view it, then the word is written on the board. The group has five minutes to create as many words as they can.

2. Divide the class into five or six groups. Each group is randomly given five or six of the cards with a letter on them. They have to create a nonsensical word using all the letter provided then determine the word's part of speech, a definition, and a sentence in which they use the word.
