First, students read about different sea creatures and the most common problems they face, then they played the memory game in teams!
There is a strict no English rule so they can help teammates make a match but they have to use TL all the time or lose a turn! It was so much fun! Watch them here! With 15 minutes to read and 30 to play, we got to do two rounds! They really acquired a lot of the key cognates and even acquired many of the sea creature names very quickly!
When i made this game, I was hoping it would be really engaging while helping them get tons of input and now that we have played, I can say for sure that it did!
