Four Pictures and One Word with a

Twist

Class before we proceed to our

lesson, were going to play a
game. Yes sir!

two groups.
Class before we start the game
you need to group yourselves into
two groups.

So class the mechanics of the

game are the following:
1. Each group will have one
representative each round
2. I will post some pictures on
the board, then you need to
guess what word the
pictures represent.
3. Since the game is with the
twist. I will not post the four
pictures at once but one by
one.
4. Each picture has
corresponding points. If the
group representative
guessed the word right at
the 1st picture he will get
4points, for 2nd picture
3points, for the 3rd picture
2points and for the last
picture 1point.
5. If you think you already
know the answer you can
go to the board and write
your guessed word. If your
answer is incorrect I will let
the other group to complete
all the four pictures on the
board and give their Yes sir!
