You can also use Fun Card English 1 and 2 with intermediate students 

to practise conversation or any grammatical structures. 

The general rule of the game is to get rid of your cards before other players do it. We can put a card only on the card of the same colour or symbol. We can also use special cards. Click the link below to watch a video with more detailed descripition of the rules.

How to play? 

Let's get started...

ASK A QUESTION GAME

Students can put a card on the discard pile only when they answer the question and then ask a question to next player. Let's see how it works.

SAY A SENTENCE GAME

Students can put a card on the table only when they say a sentence with the word or phrase from the card. We can set the rule that it must be a PRESENT SIMPLE or PRESENT PERFECT or FUTURE SIMPLE sentence. We can practise any grammatical structures we want to, TENSES, CONDITIONALS, PASSIVE VOICE etc.This video shows how we can practise Past Simple.

SLAP JACK ENGLISH GAME

One student explains a word and starts throwing cards at the table. The other students have to slap the right card. The fastest student to slap the right card takes the card and gets one point. If someone slaps a wrong card he/she loses three turns. After 5 cards, another student explains and throws the cards. At the end of the game, all students count their cards (points) and the student with the highest number of cards wins the game.

BECAUSE, BECAUSE, BECAUSE...GAME

Students can put a card on the table only when they say a sentence with the word "BECAUSE". With this great exercise, students learn how to make longer sentences.

TEAM VS TEAM GAME

We divide 4 players into two teams. Players from the same team sit opposite each other. Students can put a card on the table only when they explain in English the word from the card and their partner guesses the word. When a player gets rid of all the cards, their team wins the game. Sorry, no video for this one.
