TOOLS & EQUIPMENTS
(29 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Tools & Equipment
Tools and equipment are objects that help us build, fix, or create things. We use them in many places — at home, in the garden, at school, or in a workshop. Learning the names of tools and equipment in English is important because they are part of everyday life and work.
Some common tools include the hammer, screwdriver, wrench, saw, and drill. These are often used for repairing or building furniture, machines, or other objects. In the kitchen, we use different kinds of equipment like knives, mixers, spoons, and pans to prepare food. At school, students use rulers, scissors, compasses, and glue for their projects.
Each tool has a special purpose. For example, a hammer is used to hit nails, a screwdriver helps turn screws, and a drill makes holes in wood or metal. Knowing how to use tools safely is also important. We should always be careful and wear protective equipment like gloves or safety glasses when working.
Learning this topic helps students describe how things are made or fixed, talk about jobs and tasks, and expand their English for real-life communication.

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game turns tool vocabulary practice into an exciting learning experience. The teacher says “Tools and Equipment!” and students quickly name one item — “hammer,” “saw,” “wrench,” and so on. If someone repeats a word or hesitates, they must say “Boom!” and sit down.
This activity helps students:
Improve their vocabulary recall and pronunciation.
Think and respond in English faster.
Practice speaking under light pressure.
Enjoy teamwork and fun competition in class.
Teachers can make the activity more dynamic by showing pictures of tools, real objects, or asking students to describe what each tool does in a full sentence.
