This game teaches you the English names for letters (lower case) using a memory game like Pelmanism.
Print out a set of 26 large coloured lower case letters in blue.
Print out a set of 26 large coloured lower case letters in red.
Ask the group what is the name of each letter and go through the alphabet in turn explaining all the names, for instance when you see a letter 'a' you say the sound 'ay'. Be careful that they know the difference between e, y and i, and write arrows on the ps and bs as you go to show which way up they go.
Turn over one set of letters and lay them down on the table top.
Turn over the second set of letters next to them.
Go around the table asking each person in turn to turn over a letter, taking turns between the two sets Once two are turned over turn them back again. Each time a letter is turned over the group have to say the name of the letter.
If two identical letters are turned over, the person to turn over the second one takes the pair as their own.
At the end of the game the person with the most pairs wins.

Beginners: Welcome warm up game for a group of 12
The teacher holds a ball (in our case it was a yellow ball with a smiley printed on it).
She holds it up and says "My name is Anna." Then she looks at someone and says "What is your name?" Then that person catches the ball and holds it up. "My name is Peter" he says. Then he looks at someone else: "What is your name?" he asks and throws them the ball.
