初级游戏： Preposition Cards
Level: beginner-intermediat
Aim: review of the usage of prepositions.
Procedure: Divide the class into groups of 4--6 and give one set of preposition cards to each group.
Requirement: The teacher says a noun, a verb or an adjective or a phrase ,(or writes it on the blackboard.) Then the students think of a sentence using the teacher’s word and one of the prepositions on their cards. The student who thinks his/her sentence is right can raise his/her hand and the teacher nominates him/her. He/she reads out the sentence. If the teacher says “correct” (the sentence is correct in grammar and meaning),the student can put that preposition card aside. The procedure is repeated until any of the groups surrender all their cards and become the winner of the game.

介词之难是不争的事实，用游戏来复习介词真是太有诱惑力了。教师还可以通过提供类似短语的方法来复习其他课上刚教过的介词短语。在这种游戏中，小组之内的协调与合作十分重要。正确的句子往往需要小组成员之间充分的酝酿与讨论，而这又成了口语实践的好机会。
下面是中级游戏样本13：
argumentation " Live to work or work to live?"
(老师可在正反双方讨论自己观点时先提供一些意念方面的语料:)
approval disapproval :
1) Sounds like a good idea. Oh come on.
2) I can't agree more. What for ?
3) I'm sure it will be well received. That's silly.
4) What a wonderful idea! Do you really think so ?
然后根据学生的实际程度适当提供以下内容方面的语料，
Argument (live to work)
1) A good job can give the doer a 1ot of enjoyment.
2) People work to realize their own value .
3) If I don't like my job, I will quit it.
4) Work that is worth doing gives one mental satisfaction.
