Lucky Guess

Description

Students make groups and get a set of small vocabulary cards. They shuffle the deck and place them face down. The students ask the first player the target English question, who answers with a guess as to what the top card of the deck is. They then turn over the card. If it doesn’t match, they discard it face up. If it does match, they win one point for that card and each remaining card in the deck. They then shuffle all the cards and reset the deck.

In later rounds, a ‘joker’ card could be added – if the joker is found before a student guesses correctly, that player could lose a certain number of points.

    I played this as a group game with group points, and it worked pretty well! I only did answer but everyone said the sentence together until the end where the player guessed a word. I did it this way because my students can get pretty competitive over points, and I wanted them to work together.
