The five-minute frolic. The what's next game.
Subject			A game for introducing and practicing vocabulary.
Richard’s comments.			This is a simple game that will work for drilling vocabulary. A high amount of repetition is possible with this little game. It also can be played in a relatively short time. You will also then be able to use the discovered vocabulary to construct structures of your choice should you choose.
Group size:			This should work with teams of up to 4/5. Any class size will be ok.
Team teaching game?			The game can be played with one supervisor.
Materials			Vocabulary cards. You need six to twelve cards depending on the ability of you students. The more cards the harder the challenge. You could start with six and add to the collection as the students become familiar with the contents.
Game set up.			Divide into two teams of 4-5. Go through the vocabulary and structures using the cards. Check that the students understand each image. Drill the vocabulary paying attention to the pronunciation.
Playing rules.	Drill the cards. Drill again stopping after four or five cards. First team to identify the next card wins the round. Only one guess per team. Repeat as many times as you wish. Don’t forget to review your students’ learning at the end of the game.
Variations.		To increase the challenge, you could add additional vocabulary.
