Each student received a random card and they took turns asking and answering questions with the goal of finding the student on the opposite team with the card matching theirs.3rd: A group based activity. Each group received a cup with 50 pieces of colored paper (each piece of paper had a word printed on it e.g how, soccer, often etc). In round one students walked around playing rock paper scissors with students from other groups. The winner got a piece of paper from the loser. In round two students used their paper to create sentences e.g 'how often do you play soccer?' The students later presented their sentences and this offered an opportunity to correct common errors and mistakes.The video file containing this 40 minute lesson was edited down into a 10 minute version. This is not currently available but will be uploaded to YouTube in the next few weeks by the EPIK organization. Show less
