A vocabulary building game was conducted; wherein, few letters were given, students had to form words.

It was fun filled activity.
A talk on difference between a debate and discussion followed. Many students who didn’t know the difference were enlightened that day.
Vocabulary building activity followed. In the first activity, a topic was chosen. Students had to choose a word related to the topic and make a new word with the last letter of that word which once again had to relate to the topic. By the end of the activity, students had made words on variety of topics such as cars, countries, colours, animals etc. The other activity was to find rhyming words of four/five/six letter words. Following that activity was another one, where students were given prefix and suffix. Students had to add them to the root words and make new words and find meanings.

A word was given to a team and they had to add one letter to the word and form a new word and this word was carried forward to the next team who was given a chance to add a syllable and form a new word and so on.
