FLASHCARDS GAME
Prepare a selection of flashcards used in this lesson. Show the cards and check the vocabulary. Place the cards into a pack, face down.
1. The teacher takes one card and doesn’t show the other students.
2. Students take turns guessing which card the teacher has:
“Are you happy?” “No I’m not”
“Are you sleepy?” “Yes I am!”
Students can also take turns to select a card and answer the questions.
For more language practice, select one card, and place the other cards in front of the students one by one, saying “I’m not happy, I’m not sleepy, I’m not sad, I’m not hot, what am I?” Students answer “Are you angry?” “Yes I am!”
