LEARNING
D5. Match the cards
Divide the class into groups of five. Each group plays separately. Your teacher will distribute sets
of subject, verb and object cards to each group. Shuffle each set of cards separately and spread
them out face down on a table – first the subject cards, then the verb cards and then the object
cards. Make sure to not mix up the sets. There should be three sets of cards arranged face down.

By turns, students have to turn over one card from each set. If the three cards match to make
a grammatically correct sentence, the student will read out the sentence and keep the cards. If
the cards don’t match, the student has to turn them back over in the same place. Then the next
student will play. Continue playing until all the cards have been matched.
