Answer Key & Instructions Team Game
•

The first page can be used as an individual worksheet (reading and writing
focus). Help with spelling or vocabulary if necessary.

•

The second page can be used as a competitive team game (reading, speaking,
pronunciation and listening focus).
o Divide the class into 2 or 3 teams.
o One team reads out their clues slowly and clearly - one by one - of one
of their cards. Don’t let them show their card to other teams.
o Other teams listen and try to guess the animal. ONLY ONE GUESS IS
ALLOWED, so teams have to work together and not guess too quickly.
o If all the clues are exhausted, teams could show the pictures.
o Teams score one point per correct answer.

o These rules can be adapted or used creatively. Enjoy.
