• advice of a classmate (You have got ...).

• The teacher can ask: "What has she/he got?" "She/he
has got ..."
 Instructions
1. Let´s go play human memory game!

1. I choose two of you:

“Go to the board.”
“Close your eyes.”
“Cover your ears” (“Earmuffs”)

3. I deal shuffled cards to the other players, so no one knows, who

has what, except the player in question.

4. Other pupils:
“Don´t show your card to anyone.”
“Only you know what is in the picture?”

Problem task: This way of playing with pictures provides visual support, but also
prevents hinting and cheating.
 Instructions
5. If you don´t know the animal in the picture, ask a
classmate when it is your turn. Use the verb to have:
“What have I got?”

The teacher can also use the question and ask the
pupils.
What has he/she got?
(answer: She/he has got…)
