Who It’s For: (Self-)Teachers & Helpers at Intermediate Grammatical-Vocabulary Levels Who Are Comfortable with Tactile (Manual Manipulation) Approaches

Why It’s Useful: The 2-part Domino principle works well in “vocabulary study” in which both the first and second elements of a phrase can be combined with other words. Take, for example, the word combo “take time.” The transitive verb take can “take” many other objects, such as the bus, notes, chances. As a noun object, in turn, the word “time,” can follow several verbs, like spend, waste, do. Why not take advantage of this feature of English to enjoy acquiring new vocabulary through “Phrase Play?”

With or without Word Phrasing Cards to be arranged in lines or circles, players can learn to put verbs together with appropriate nouns. This resourceful Transitive Verbs + Noun Objects: Creative Ideas & Activities for Teaching & Learning Grammar & Phrasing Book suggests how to (help others) do so.
