LANDSCAPE
(43 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Landscape
The word landscape refers to the visible features of an area of land — what we see when we look at nature or our surroundings. A landscape can include mountains, rivers, forests, hills, valleys, lakes, and plains. It can also show how people have changed the land with buildings, roads, or bridges.
Landscapes are not only beautiful to look at, but they also tell us a lot about a place. For example, a mountain landscape often has cold weather and snow, while a desert landscape is dry and hot. A coastal landscape shows beaches, cliffs, and the sea. Learning about landscapes helps us understand the world better — its nature, climate, and geography.
In English lessons, the topic of landscape helps students describe places, express opinions about nature, and use adjectives such as beautiful, green, wide, or rocky. It also supports speaking and writing skills by helping learners talk about travel, holidays, and their environment.

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game turns learning about landscapes into an exciting challenge. The teacher says “Landscape!” and students take turns naming a landscape word: “mountain,” “river,” “valley,” “lake,” and so on. If someone repeats a word or hesitates too long, they say “Boom!” and leave the round.
This game helps learners:
Remember geographical vocabulary faster.
Practice pronunciation and fluency.
Think quickly and respond under time pressure.
Engage actively while learning about nature.
Teachers can extend the game by asking students to describe the landscapes they mention — for example, “The mountain is high and snowy,” or “The forest is green and full of trees.”

Student’s Comment
“I really liked learning about landscapes. I can now describe different places in English and use new words like valley, coast, and desert. The BoomWords game helped me remember them. It made geography in English much easier and more interesting.”
