The Rules

Objective:

The objective is to gather all the cards belonging to the same character. This game allows the
students to use CAN, ‘not … at all’, ‘a little’, ‘quite well’, ‘very well’, as well as the vocabulary related
to different common activities and hobbies.

How to play the Game:

1. Make groups of 4-5 players and give a set of cards to each group.

2. One of the players is the dealer. He/she shuffles the cards and deals 5 or 6 cards to each player.
The other cards make a pile.

3. The dealer starts the game by choosing a player and asking him/her a question about one of the
characters (ex: ‘

How well can Ben swim?

’’). (You can only gather the cards of a character if you have

already at least one card of this character in your own game.)

• If the player does not have the card (there has to be a red frame around the picture), he/she

answers ‘

I don’t know

.’ Then, the dealer takes a card from the pile. If, by any chance the card

is the answer to his/her question, he/she can play again. If not, it is the player sitting on the
dealer’s left who chooses someone and asks him/her a question.

• If the player does have the card (with a red frame around the picture), he/she answers ‘

He

cannot swim at all!’

’ Then, the dealer can continue to ask questions. He / She can ask the

same player or choose another one.

X

not … at all

a little

quite well

very well

4. Once all the cards of a character have been gathered, the player puts them on the table.

5. The winner is the player who has gathered the most characters.

Remark: You can also work question tags > ‘Tom cannot swim at all, can he?’
