Some of the ideas on these pages are from personal resources and others are from other teachers and ESOL websites  and are chosen for their relative merit for teaching IELTS. You are welcome to copy any of these and I do not claim any ownership to them.  I have only listed to date ideas which I have used and which worked well in class.

Lexical Sets Brainstorm a lexical set from class and place to blackboard.  You might use town amenities and places such as bank, grocers, florist, hairdresser, church etc.  These should be elicited from the class.  Get as many words as possible.  Split the students to teams and have one student from each team come to the front and sit facing their team.  Underline one of the words on the board, the teams will shout out words which describe the word on the board but must not use the actual word.  The student at the front of the class who gets the correct word first gets one point for the team.  Change the students at the front and repeat with another word on the board.
