Grammar Cards / Game Common Food Partitives
Memory Game: Match 15 picture cards with the corresponding 15 partitive phrase cards (a 'carton' of milk, etc.) Intermediate Level Approximately 15 minutes ACTIVITY SUGGESTION
Before giving playing this game, consider distributing all 15 picture cards and 15 matching phrase cards to your students and having them work together as a class to match them, perhaps using tape or magnets to stick them on the board. Consider also playing the game in groups of four, with two students in two teams. One student in a team can begin by turning over a picture card, and his/her partner can choose a partitive phrase card (this will reduce the number of cards sets that need to be cut up before the class). Play then continues with the other team turning over cards. (Add 5 to 10 minutes.) |
