- Put the playing cards in the first box, and the Grammar Helpers cards in the second one, where kids can't see them.
- Make two teams.
- For each round of the game, have one student from each team come to the front of the classroom.
- He / she draws a card from the first box, and a card from the second box, then uses the words and pictures on the cards to build correct sentences.
- Cards can be used more than once.
- Each correct answer gains one point.
- The team with the highest score is the winner.
