Answer Key & Instructions Team Game

 The first page can be used as an individual worksheet (reading and writing
focus). Help with spelling or vocabulary if necessary.

 The second page can be used as a competitive team game (reading,

speaking, pronunciation and listening focus).
o Divide the class into 2 or 3 teams.
o One team reads out the clues slowly and clearly - one by one - on
one of their cards. Don’t let teams show each other their cards.
o Other teams listen and try to guess the job. ONLY ONE GUESS IS
ALLOWED, so teams have to work together and not guess too
quickly.
o If all the clues are exhausted, teams could show the pictures or
give extra clues.
o Teams score one point per correct answer.
o These rules can be adapted or used creatively. Enjoy.

 After the game, students can choose a job and write their own clue cards.
