a) The teacher plays a word game with the class. A couple of examples are written on the board in which the solutions are hidden. Example: Helen operates under special engagement. The answer: “house”. The students should understand the rule that the solution is found by picking the first letter of the words in the sentence and putting them together to spell the answer word).
b) Together the students come up with 1–2 sentences – then they work alone or in pairs. They receive strips of paper on which they write the riddle sentence on the front and the answer on the back side of the paper.
c) To finish, the strips of paper are swapped among the pairs and the students solve the riddles.
