Show the students several flashcards that they are familiar with. Tell them to try to remember the cards. Then, shuffle the cards and start describing the top card without showing it to the students. For example, if the top card is apple , you could say It s red. You eat it. That might be enough to let them guess the word if the cards are apple, sun, jet, frog, milk , however, you might need to be more specific if the cards are apple, banana, strawberry, orange, tomato, cherry . The first student to guess correctly gets to keep the card. The student (or row) with the most cards at the end wins.
