Description
The Correct Word – English Error Analysis Game
This is an ESOL error analysis activity.
The main worksheet contains 30 sentences that have a highlighted word.
The students need to say whether the highlighted word is correct or incorrect in that sentence AND if it is not correct say why.
This error analysis covers some common mistakes made by English learners (e.g Travel vs. Trip, spelling, vocabulary, tenses, uncountable nouns, etc.)
You may want to watch how I used this activity with a LIVE audience on YouTube in order to know which sentences appear in this error analysis (LIVE coming soon).
✅ PRINTABLE (PDF) VERSION ✅
The Printable PDF Version of this resource includes:
There are 4 versions of this printable resource.
- There is a version WITH a highlighted word – making it easier to identify if the sentence is correct or not.
(e.g. Next year I plan to go on a travel to Egypt.) - There is a version WITHOUT a highlighted word – the student will have to identify if the sentence is correct or not.
(e.g. Next year I plan to go on a travel to Egypt.) - We also have versions of the above where the students ARE or ARE NOT playing for points.
At the top of each worksheet it will have the following instructions (depending on the version):
Worksheet Version 1 – WITH Highlighted Word & Points
Is the highlighted word in each sentence correct? You must say whether the word is correct or incorrect and then use between 10 and 100 points with your answer. If your answer is right, you win that amount of points.
For a wrong answer, you lose that amount of points. Add or subtract the points won or lost immediately.
Whoever has the most points at the end, wins. Everyone starts with 500 points.

immediately. Whoever has the most points at the end, wins. Everyone starts with 500 points.
