ESL Classroom Activity - Fun English Games Hangman English Activity

An oldie but a goodie, hangman is a classic activity that can act as a quick time filler or a chance to reinforce key words for students in the process of learning English.

Choose a word and draw lines on the blackboard to represent each of the letters that makes up the word. Ask a student to guess a letter, if they are correct then write the letter in the corresponding space on the black board and if they are wrong then draw another part of the hangman picture.

Keep asking students to guess letters until they know the word or the hangman picture is completed. If they successfully guess the word they win but if the hangman picture is completed then you win, easy but fun.

If the hangman imagery is a little intense then feel free to change the picture to something more suitable, I've used a hot air balloon with strings that get erased in the past and that worked well.

Have fun and enjoy this ESL classroom activity as well as all other free English games, worksheets, quizzes and videos.
