Lesson 2

1. News of the day.
2. Question-answer game:
There are two sets of paper stripes, a blue one with questions and a pink one with answers. One student chooses the student to reply and they simultaneously draw papers from two sets. Then they read out loud the question and the answer. If needed, translate.
The fun part is that the q-s and answers often doesn’t match – but they are designed to create funny combinations.
3. Board game
Play as a regular board game – throw a dice, move the figure on the board, answer the corresponding question.
