FCE Use of English Part Four key word sentence transformation reversi game
Instructions for the teacher
Photocopy and cut up one pack of cards per group of two to four students, with each card having two boxes below, e.g. both the cards about witnesses. Fold along the middle lines so students can only see one of the two sides. Students should put them in a column on the table, in any order and with any side up first. This column is a ladder that they must climb without making any mistakes, as each time they make a mistake they slip to the bottom and play passes to the next person. This means that all students must start again at the bottom each time. All cards which are attempted stay turned over and so must be transformed back again when it is the next person’s turn. The first person to go through the whole pack from bottom to top without making any mistakes is the winner.
If students get stuck, let them work together rather than competing.
