Howdy, Magooshers. This is my latest post on using entertainment websites<\/a> and online videos<\/a> to improve your English. Today, we\u2019re going to be looking at English vocabulary activities from the popular American talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On Late<\/em> Night<\/em>, Jimmy Fallon is doing lots of exciting things with word games<\/em>. These games are designed to get celebrities laughing, joking, and doing fun things while they\u2019re on the show. But the games that Jimmy and his other famous friends play are also really great for learning new English words, and learning new ways to use<\/em> words.<\/p>\n

Here are several games you can watch on Fallon\u2019s show and<\/em> play with your own classmates, family, and friends.<\/p>\n

Pictionary<\/h2>\n

This game is a classic<\/em> game for building vocabulary and learning English. I\u2019ve been playing it with my own students for the last decade. The rules are simple: one person is given a word that is hidden from the other players. The person who has the word must draw pictures— and ONLY pictures, so that the other players can guess the word. Play this at home, or make your own guesses as you watch Megan Fox, Nick Cannon, and Wiz Khalifa play this game together. (If you\u2019re in a country that doesn\u2019t have YouTube, you can watch the video<\/a> on Metatube.)<\/p>\n
