The students’ vocabulary skill was truly tested in
the Unscrambling Anagrams game, where students
tried to rearrange the chains of jumbled letters into
actual words. The increasing length and complex-
ity of the words made it more of a challenge for
most of the students.

Papers having Word Puzzles printed on them were
distributed for the next game. This game went
easier on the students as it only involved looking
for words in a giant table of letters.

The next game was the NiE (Newspaper in Edu-
cation) Scavenger Hunt. Once again, another blast
from the past, this past English Month favorite had
students tearing through a newspaper looking for
items to complete their objectives, which ranged
from spelling out the principal’s name to finding
a picture with a funny caption on it. This certainly
was the most time taxing of all the games, since
20 something items had to be found in a single
newspaper in 40 minutes. Once again, teamwork
was highly valued in this game for progress to flow
smoothly. Last but not least, seemingly simple Fun
Quiz with deceptive answers that incited many
sighs from students wrapped up the games; good
time always seems to come to an end much too
quickly.

Overall, the contests and games were a major
success. Unlike most station games which involved
the nightmare of getting extremely large group of
students rotating from one station to another, these
games were under perfect control since students
stayed at their own respective areas in good order.
It was certainly not an experience to be missed for
most students have hectically finished their tasks
throughout the entire games with full commitment.
It was a day to remember in learning English!
