Teacher Notes
This is a very enjoyable way of introducing, revising or reinforcing vocabulary.
Do not give any explanations or clues in the first (betting) stage of the exercise. Players
should guess or discuss with a team mate and not rely on teacher assistance.
Explain vocabulary when correcting the game.
Some of the picture clues are red herrings, i.e. have got nothing to do with the
questions and are there only to mislead players (the coffee mug, the hard hat and
spanner, the photocopier, the hammer). Delete if necessary.
