 4 Vocabulary Review
Aims: To review and practise vocabulary from the unit.
This can be completed when students have finished the
unit.
Time: 15–20 minutes
Materials: One set of cards cut up for each pair of
students
• The cards are divided into two lexical sets. You can
choose just one of the lexical sets, or, for a more
challenging activity, you can mix up all the cards
together and practise both lexical sets at the same
time.
• Divide the class into pairs and give each pair a set of
cards. Tell them to share out the cards equally, without
looking at their partner’s cards. Student A then
chooses one card and lays it down. Student B must try
to find a word to fit either one of the words on Student
A’s card. So, for example, if Student A lays down the
card: tourism | camp, Student B could choose the card:
site | mind- and place it so that the word site is next to
the Student A’s word camp. Alternatively, Student B
could choose the card: swap | eco and place it so that
the word eco is next to the Student A’s word tourism. If
Student B has neither of these cards, he/she misses a
turn and Student A plays a card. The winner is the first
person to use up all their cards.
