'Emoticons' Challenge Card

This was previous meeting of English class at T-sbI. The aim of this lesson was to review vocabulary that have been learnt in the last meetings. They played 'Emoticons' Challenge Card individually as they were only six students in the class. Each player did the challenge card and gave a score on each answer based on the challenge given. They enjoyed the activity and had fun all the time along with friends. 

The procedure and preparation are quite easy. Before the class, I prepared a set of cards (12 cards). On each card, I put an emoticon downloaded from the internet expressing some familiar feelings and wrote a challenge underneath it. Some challenges that I wrote, such as, write down wild animals; find the things you can find in the park; write past irregular verbs, etc. All the challenges must be completed in one minute only. Then, I asked the students to sit in a circle and put the challenge cards face down in the middle of them. The students determined who was player 1, player 2, and so forth and they also prepared their pen and note book/an answer sheet. The first player took a challenge card and had to read the challenge loudly. All the players did the challenge and I set the time on one minute. After that, each player had to read the answer, and while listening to their friends answer they cross out/eliminate the same answers. The number of remaining answers would be their score. So, it went on until all players had twice round of the game. Student with the highest score would be the winner.
