2. Print enough sheets so that you have 5 cards for each student in your class. Duplicates cards are fine.
3. Give each student 5 cards to start with.
4. Students mingle, speak to each other, and get 3 chances to guess the name of a country that their classmate holds.
5. If they guess correctly they get to take that card from their classmate. (They are not allowed to claim it back from the same person by "guessing" it again!)
6. The winner is the student with the most cards after 5 minutes of play.

Notes and Ideas:

• Linear Sorting Exercise (lines of degree) - Students must arrange the cards in order from least to greatest. e.g. Adverbs of Frequency: Never, rarely, sometimes, often, usually, always.
• Quiz Cards - Teacher starts class with a general quiz using questions on cards. Students get to keep the cards when they answer questions correctly. The student with the most cards at the end of the quiz is the winner.
• Jigsaw Puzzles - Put a different question on each card. Print the cards on the back of a picture, and cut it up. Students work in groups. The cards should be with one group of students, and the other group has to get the cards by answering the questions correctly. When the second group gets the cards, they turn them over and try to make the picture by putting the cards back together.
