Game Ideas:
Act It Out –
Give each student a card from the “Associations” deck. Ask the students to act out how they would use the items in each picture. Students receive a point for each correct performance. You can also use the ‘Identifying the Setting” cards to have students act out what they would do it they were in that setting, and the “Predicting” and “What Happened?” cards to act out how they would react to the situations and what they would do next.
Get Emotional –
Show the students a card from the “Predicting” and / or “What Happened?” deck. Ask them to describe the emotions that the people or animals in the scenes are experiencing and why they are feeling that way. Students receive a point for each correct answer. The student with the most points is the winner.
Write It Down –
Give each student a photo card and a piece of paper. Ask the students to create as many sentences as they can about the photo in one minute. The student with the most correct sentences wins that round. Students may play in groups.
