Magnetic letters can be really magical, especially when used for vocabulary revision and spelling practice. You might be wondering how. Well, it’s pretty simple: the teacher gives the students a definition of a word they’ve covered, which they then have to spell with magnetic letters.

Another puzzle from Roger: what adjective would you use to describe someone who wears a long dress, a long-sleeved shirt and doesn’t show much skin? The students of Intermediate A give the answer to this question at the end of the video below:
I like playing the Magnetic letters which is fascinating, because good exercise for memorizing , vocabulary revision and spelling correctly and quickly. It will help me to remember better. I would have played the game if I had been in Justyna’s class.

It’s an interesting and useful activity!
I want to remember many vocabulary.
If I know a lot of vocabulary, I’ll be able to speak English better.
I’m writing new vocabulary in my small exclusive vocabulary book.
