A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Give groups the player board, die and counters; keep definitions and examples accessible to the teacher.

  1. Model feasible in a sentence that makes the practical constraint clear, rather than simply saying a plan is feasible.
  2. Players create a fresh context for the landed word; peers should be able to explain the intended meaning from the sentence.
  3. After play, revisit a verb-adjective-noun selection and discuss useful partners such as comply with and detrimental to.

Support and extension

Permit tense and noun-number changes. Some words occur below C1 too; the challenge is precise contextual production, not proving an exclusive word-level classification.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
