wish to check your students’ understanding of some categories/vocabulary. (Illnesses, Injuries,

Option 1: Playing as a class
- Divide the class into teams of 2-3 students.
- Each team should take turns to choose a category.
- Set a timer on your phone to 30 seconds.
- The first team should say as many things as possible for the category they have chosen until the time
runs out. The other students/teacher should count all the things the current team says.
- Make a note of their points (1 for each correct item) when the 30 seconds is up.
- The game continues with the second team and so on either until all the categories have been used or
an agreed time limit has been reached.
- The winner is the team with most points at the end of the game.
- Highlight any errors or examples of good vocabulary used in a feedback session after the game.
