Each player must take a large sheet of paper. Write the word “education” on it vertically.
Try to find words: nouns for the first column, verbs for the second column and other parts of speech for the third one. Mind, the words must begin with the letters that are in the word “education”. After all the players finish their work, let them read the words in turn. The winner is the player with most words.
Prof.: “Before we begin the examination are there any questions?” *** Math. teacher: “Now we find that X is equal to zero”. *** At a college examination a professor said: “Does the question embarrass you?” *** “If the Dean doesn’t take back what he said to me this morning, I am going to leave college.” *** The professor was delivering the final lecture of the term. He dwelt with much emphasis on the fact that each student should devote all the intervening time preparing for the final examinations. “The examination papers are now in the hands of the printer. Are there any questions to be asked?” Silence prevailed. Suddenly a voice from the rear inquired: “Who is the printer?” *** In one of college classes the professor was unable to stay for the class, so he placed a sign on the door which read as follows: “Professor Blank will be unable to meet his classes to-day.” Some college lad, seeing his chance to display his sense of humour after reading the notice, walked up and erased the “c” in the word “classes”. The professor noticing the laughter wheeled around, walked back, looked at the student, then at the sign with the “c” erased - calmly walked up and erased the “l” in “lasses”, looked at the flabbergasted student and proceeded on his way.
