‘sentence about the picture. For example: The peopleare ina oy
Shop. The loaner next to that learner says another sentence about
the picture, For example: Aman iscleaning the floor.
(© Continue round the circle. fa learner repeats a sentence that
someone else has said they ae eliminated [or lose a point)

‘or word car foreach group. The cards are dealt out to al the learners
inthe group. Each leatner looks at their cards, they havea “pat (two

‘ofthem,
Learners take tin tur to ask a learner inthe group for a certain card,
for example: Margo, have you got ttildrer' the other learnes has that
card, they must give Itto the asking leamer, who can then put the pair
oftwo cards on the able, The winner is the learner with most pairs
