Linking game

Take the cards and lay them on a table so that they are all picture side up. To start the first player should turn over a card so that it is word side up. The next person should then find a picture which links to this word, and then turn the picture over so that it is word side up. Then the next person must find a picture which links to this word and then turn the picture over so it is word side up. This continues until either all the cards are word side up or no one can make a link.

What’s my object?

A pupil holds a card. Others guess the object on the card by asking closed questions about the properties of the object. The pupil holding the card can only answer yes or no.
