Concrete Conundrum

ESL Concrete Nouns Activity - Vocabulary: Identifying, Providing Nouns, Matching, Binary Choice, Gap-fill - Pair Work - Pre-intermediate (A2) - 25 minutes

In this free concrete nouns activity, students practice identifying concrete nouns with a partner. First, students read out sets of nouns to their partner who guesses which noun is not concrete and then gives two more concrete nouns on the topic for them to write down. Next, students take it in turns to read out each sentence using the word 'blank' for the missing noun. Their partner listens and finds a pair of nouns shown in the box on their worksheet that matches the sentence and reads them out. When the student hears a pair of nouns that match, they choose which noun is the concrete noun and write it in the sentence. This continues until both students have completed all their sentences. When the students have finished, check the correct answers with the class.

If the student successfully guesses the noun within the time frame, the team wins and keeps the card. If not, the other team has one chance to guess the concrete noun and steal the card. The game continues with students taking it in turns to pick up a card, read the sentence, and mime the missing noun for their teammate. The team with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
