Give one card to each of your students.

Firstly the two separate lists of words above should be printed off and cut up and then folded over and placed into two separate bowls.

Divide your students into pairs.

Hand out one animal card and one equipment picture card to each pair of students.

You will find the picture cards in the game material section.

Put all the animal words into one bowl and the other words into a separate bowl and go round your class and one by one get your students to pick one of the words out from alternate bowls each time.

If the word that is called out is the word that a student has on his or her card he or she must wait till the other word is called in order to win the game.

This game idea has many other avenues to help a student learn English.

For example you can ask students questions about the animals or get them to describe one of the animals.

Example questions:

Which is the heaviest animal?
Which of these animals have feathers?
What is your favorite animal?
Which of these animals like the water?
There are many questions that can be asked to encourage students to interact with each other and start a class discussion which all goes towards improving their English skills.
