Interjections ESL Games and Worksheets

In this fun interjections board game, students race to check off interjections from a list by using them appropriately in sentences. Players take it in turns to roll the dice and move their counter along the board in any direction. When a player lands on a gap-fill sentence square, they complete the sentence with one of the interjections from their list. If the sentence is correct, as judged by the other group members, the player checks off the interjection on their list. The first player to check off all the interjections on their list wins the game.

This insightful interjections worksheet helps students learn and practice some interjections that are commonly used in the English language. Students begin by reading about interjections and their uses. Next, students match interjections with sentence halves and then match each interjection with its correct use. Next, in pairs, students compare the interjections with words used in their own language to express the same feelings and emotions to see if they are the same or different. Students also discuss other interjections they use to express feelings and emotions. After that, students begin sentences with suitable interjections from a box. In the last exercise, students write down eight interjections from the worksheet and create a suitable following sentence for each one. Afterwards, they read their sentences to a partner without saying the interjection to see if they can guess what it is.

In this free interjections game, students race to match interjections with sentences. In two groups, students match each interjection on their worksheet with an appropriate meaning. Next, students pair up with someone from the other group. Students then take it in turns to read the sentences on their worksheet to their partner who has to find and provide a suitable interjection to begin each sentence. If both students agree it's correct, the student writes the interjection before the sentence. If not, the student asks their partner for other suggestions. The race continues until all the sentences on both worksheets have been matched with an interjection. The first pair to correctly complete all the sentences wins the race.
