These are so easy and can be used with any set of vocabulary.
Examples are given here in French, German and Spanish.
Start off the session with revising the main set of vocabulary
– in the first example this would be school subjects. Revise also other relevant
areas of vocabulary. Display all the gathered vocabulary on the whiteboard. For
less able students you could actually provide the vocabulary on flash cards and
let them pin them on the wall or on to a flip chart. They could even be presented
electronically.

combines seasons and leisure activities.)
This can be
an effective way of linking two or more topics together. It is also possible to
allow students to use the dictionary to find more words.
