For today,
In pairs you are going to spin the wheel, in this wheel you find certain categories that are in your vocabulary as well.

If it comes on that certain title, one of you is going to ask you to make a sentence with that word in that category.

After that you take turns.

Let's get started!

1. Open up a word document

2. Decide who is going to spin the wheel first.

3. Number 1 picks out a word from the category.

4. Number 2 writes a sentence with that word.

5. Swap roles with your partner.
