If you pick a letter that is in the word, a sound is played and that letter is revealed from the blank letters; however, if you pick a letter that is not in the word, then a stickman is slowly drawn.
With each wrong letter guess, the man is drawn more and more. When the man is finished, he is hung and the game is lost. This is why the game is called 'Hangman'. If you can reveal all the letters in the word before the man is hung then you are successful and the full word is revealed along with an image showing the meaning of the word. An audio clip should also play if it has been loaded. The letters are in 2 sets: vowels appear on the left and the consonants on the right.
In order to make the game easier, wrong guesses from vowels do not count as mistakes and do not draw the man. As a result, I was under constant pressure to be exciting, and I doubt my students learned much. Eventually I let go of perfection.

The teaching relationship between you and your students will also be strengthened. This hilarious card game translates into effective ESL spelling practice for all levels and ages.

In a Word document, create a table. Each square in the table should be about 2 inches by 2 inches. These are your game cards! Type up the alphabet, with one letter per square.
Create about squares for each letter of the alphabet. Print the document laminate if you can and cut the tables into the game cards. Choose about 10 vocabulary words and write them on the board where everyone can see them. Dump the cards face up in the middle of the table or desks. Then put plastic spoons or unsharpened pencils in the center. The quantity of these is important, through—there must be one less than the number of students playing. For example, if there are five students, put out only four spoons or pencils.
The students will each spell the same word from the board by choosing letters from the pile. As soon as that happens, the other students must take a spoon also. Teeny tiny grids of cards think 4 by 4, 16 cards can be made up for young children and beginning students. You can use pictures, numbers or colors for young and beginning level students. You can also kick the difficulty up a few notches and provide matching verb conjugations. On your turn, you can select any two cards to flip over.
If they are a pair, you can keep the cards and go again. If not, turn the cards back over in their original spot, and your turn is over. Otherwise they become dog-eared and torn up very quickly. Put the cards on the board with magnets or small pieces of tape.
