Activity Instructions
Language Focus: Unspecific
Vocabulary Focus: Weather vocabulary
Level: Kids
Skill: Speaking
Time: 15 minutes
Organisation: Students play in groups of 3-4
Stage: Vocabulary speaking practice
Suggested Method:

1. Copy one set the cards for each group of 3-4 learners.

2. Make a circle with your students and demonstrate the activity with some of the
stronger students. Place the cards face down. Instruct the learners to reveal a
card and say the word or picture. They then uncover another card. If the pair
match, they keep the pair and go again. If the pair do not match, the next person
clockwise goes. The winner is the player with the most pairs.

3. Separate the learners into groups, distribute the cards and let them get on with
it. Monitor the learners, helping them with any words that pose difficulties.
Adjudicate any disputes, should they arise.

4. When the pelmanism games have run their course, end the activity and elicit
feedback from the learners.
