Theme words

• Check how well you know the two blocks of Theme words by asking them 5 words from each block.

With 4 people:

• Take turns choosing a piece of paper and read the words out loud.

• You have 1 minute to do so.

In groups of 3/4:

• One of you is going to describe the Theme word in English without mentioning the actual word. 
• The other two classmates try to guess which Theme word is described. 
• The first one to say the correct word gets a point. 
• The game is finished when you have described all the theme words. 
• Take turns. 

Example: 'When you like the same things' = "To have in common"

Guess the word

On your own:
