This is a great well to keep students in the target language while they focus on a particular vocabulary theme. The example below using clothing. Give slip of paper to each student with pictures of five articles of clothing. There are 6 six pairs total. In the example below the slips on the left are paired with slips on the right.
Students circulate in the classroom and ask each other which clothing they have (they should not look at others’ answers or show theirs). The entire activity should take place in the target language. The objective is to find the other person who has the exact match. If there are more than 12 students in the class, photocopy additional slips and students need to find their group of 3 or 4 that all match. If there is an odd number of students in the class, be sure to give a slip that matches a group.
The first group to pair up without speaking English or looking at each other’s slip wins the round. Students can then exchange slips and play a second and third time. Before playing, review the vocabulary that students will need.
