Dear all,These are some games of pronunciation that I collected from many sources. I hope it can help you teach English well.1. Sounds brainstorming board race: (sounds)- Divide class into 4 teams- Teams of students try to write as many words with the sound they have been given on the board as quickly as possible.- Each team member can only write one word before they pass the pen onto someone else, but they can prompt each other.- This also works for number of syllables and word stress.* Sounds: /b/, /p/, /t/, /d/, /dʒ/, /tʃ/, etc.2. Ring golden bell: (minimal pairs)- Read loud 1 word of minimal pairs- Students write it down in their paper and raise it up- Who having the wrong answer have to stop the game- Ex: cat - kept* Minimal pairs:lit - light read - red sing - sangbed - bad saw - sought boot - boatsoot - suit but - boot why - wayknow - now wreath - wreathe leak - licklook - luck sock - suck vest - vastcod - card dug - dog thirst - firstfair - fear pay - bay read - leadneed - mead zoo - sue near - ne'ercatch - cash azure - assure jet - ChetHose - rose whistle - thistle beige - baysfur - fear care - chair noon – nun3.
