Word Game - Spot the Difference

by Lynne Hand

Instructions to the English teacher

You probably played "Spot the Difference" as a child: Two almost identical pictures and you have to spot the differences between them. Well this is along the same lines, but with a difference.

Instead of two pictures you use a recording of a text and a print out of the recording. The trick is that the text differs slightly from the recording. The students have to correct their written copies. You can then get them to read out the corrected text, or replay the recording and get them to raise their hands or shout "Stop!" when they come to one of the mistakes.

Do you have an article, handout or a teaching idea/tip that you would like to share?
