Tik Tak Talk *(Aust Pub)
Adele Wallis
If you are looking for a fun and effective resource for practising language skills,Tik Tak Talk is what you need. It consists of 34 game boards, all in a noughts and crosses configuration, and there are hundreds of possibilities for playing the games.
Take turns to play a game of noughts and crosses, but before you can claim a space on the board with your marker, you have to practice a language task. Thee language tasks represented on the game boards are :
1) Describe it! - describe the picture depicted on the board square,
2) Explain it! - explain how the picture depicted works, or how it is used,
3) What goes with ....? - think of things or verbs or adjectives that you would associate with the picture you chose,
4) In a sentence - use the picture/word in a sentence,
5) Same & different - talk about how the two things shown are the same or how they are different.
There are also three miscellaneous language tasks:
Questions - the 'wh' question words are written in the spaces on the board, choose a single stimulus picture and ask questions, depending on the word / space you chose. Descriptors - descriptive features are written on the board (e.g. size, shape, colour), choose a single stimulus picture and describe it according to the feature written on the space you chose.
Categories - category names are written on the board (e.g. food, transport), when you choose a space, list some items that belong to that category.
