how to play

This flashcard game idea can be adapted to any language concept (in this case, to our Going Shopping topic). The instructions below are just a starting point to inspire you.

Draw a scoring table on the board.
Put question cards in three piles ( a yellow pile, a green pile, and a blue pile) face down.
Divide students into two teams.
Each team takes a turn by choosing the level of the difficulty.
Easy questions are worth one point, medium questions are worth two points, and hard questions are worth three points.
The team with the highest score is the winner.
