Space Explorers Card Game
These cards were designed by Chris Gunn as a part of a vocabulary enrichment program using content-based materials. They flashcards are meant to teach a list of verbs related to industry, economy, and science. Cards include:
Constructing a Space Station Mining an Asteroid Producing Space Suits Growing Some Crops Exploring a Cave Investigating a Leaky Pipe Doing Research Rescuing a Survivor Repairing a Spaceship Connecting a Hose Gathering Minerals
Print two copies of the cards and paste on posterboard to make a deck of cards to play Go Fish, review the vocabulary, or play Memory. Go Fish: Students each get 2 or 3 cards dealt to them. Going clockwise students try to match up their cards by asking other students if they have a matching card. Interactions are as follows: Student A: Do you have an astronaut mining an asteroid? Student B: Yes, I do. (Student B gives card to student A and student A gets a point).
or
Student A: Do you have an astronaut negotiating with an alien? Student B: No, I don't. (Student A takes a card from the deck).
