Thinking Skills: Alphabet Key

 

Alphabet Key

The Alphabet Thinking Key involves learners having to think of certain topic words beginning with each letter of the alphabet. 

We turn this into a game much like Scattegories where the students are awarded points only if they have a unique answer ie. in an 'Animals' alphabet key, most students would immediately think of 'dog', and the student with a different to answer to his/her peers (such as 'dragonfly') would be awarded a point. The student with the most points at the end of the game wins!

The worksheet can be modified for a variety of  topics and units of work, and is an excellent fast finisher activity.
