Six English games for adult learners

Six games for an adult English room: collocations, false friends, register, and the verbs that belong on a CV. The ones that need no device say so on their own row. The rest run in the browser from a six-character code, with no student accounts.

1
Workplace Collocation Race
Setup:
Paste twelve workplace verbs and the nouns they actually take: file a report, take minutes, raise a concern.
How to play:
Students match each verb to the noun it belongs with. A wrong pair costs time. First to clear the set reads the three collocations they would never say at work.
On LexiClash:
The Matching practice mode pairs the verbs with their nouns from your list — no cards to cut.
- Time: 6–8 min
- Group: Pairs or solo
- Drills: Workplace collocation
2
False Friend Spot
Setup:
Write six English words that look like words in the students’ first language but do not mean the same thing.
How to play:
For each word, students write what it looks like it means, then what it actually means. Compare, and keep the false friend on the board all week.
On LexiClash:
No device needed. Six words, two columns, and the first language they already bring to the room.
- Time: 10 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: Cross-language interference
3
Register Shift
Setup:
Write four informal phrases and four workplace versions of the same idea.
How to play:
Read the informal line. Pairs rewrite it for an email to a manager in forty seconds and hold it up. Pick one rewrite, tighten the register, and move on.
On LexiClash:
No device needed. Eight lines on the board and a forty-second rewrite is the whole machine.
- Time: 10 min
- Group: Pairs
- Drills: Formal versus informal
4
Idiom Unpack
Setup:
Open a short list of workplace idioms with a plain-English gloss for each.
How to play:
Flip a card, read the idiom, say the gloss from memory, then use it in one spoken sentence about a job they actually have. Ninety seconds, then write down the two that would not come.
On LexiClash:
The Flashcard practice mode plays your idiom list with audio, which is what a paper pile will not do at this speed.
- Time: 4–6 min
- Group: Solo, then whole class
- Drills: Idiom recall
5
CV Action Drill
Setup:
Put eight resume verbs on the list: led, shipped, cut, raised, built, ran, closed, hired.
How to play:
Each student writes one CV bullet with a verb from the list in two minutes. Three volunteers read theirs; the class names the verb and whether the bullet could sit on a real CV.
On LexiClash:
The Warm-Up practice mode runs the same verb list one item at a time for anyone who froze on the bullet.
- Time: 8–10 min
- Group: Solo, then whole class
- Drills: Workplace verb use
6
Headline Hunt
Setup:
Pick one news-word from this week’s list before the round starts.
How to play:
The class hunts that word on a shared letter grid. Other finds still score, but the round is about the headline word, which you then unpack in one real sentence from this morning’s news.
On LexiClash:
Word Hunt mode, chosen on the host screen, so the headline word stays the point of the round.
- Time: 5–8 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: News vocabulary in situ

Support

Finding the phrase

Shorter workplace words, a longer timer, and a visible word bank so a new arrival still scores.

Core

On the job list

Mixed collocations, standard timer. The shared 6x6 board is enough for a mixed evening room.

Challenge

Register and tone

Longer collocations and a tighter timer, still on the same board so nobody is pulled out.

One evening slot, start to finish

The loop fits in the last ten minutes of an evening class. You paste eight to twelve workplace verbs, put a code on the projector, and the group plays from phones while you keep the controls — including a pause when a register discussion starts.
