Looking for a fun way to engage your students in building their vocabulary skills? Check out the Silly Bulls Game [CR 428.1 M527S] currently on display in the OISE library. Using farms and the countryside as the game’s backdrop, students are encouraged to build their vocabulary skills and awareness of syllables with the 60 illustrated picture cards used in playing it. Aimed at primary grade and English as a second language (ESL) students, the simple and open-ended style of the game encourages the use of a wide range of verbal responses and alternative words and phrases in identifying the picture cards. The game rules can be adjusted based on the age of the players and linguistic capabilities.
Currently on display on the coffee table near the Circulation Desk on the Ground Floor of the Library.
