This Speaking game accompanies the Support Material document I have also uploaded. Vocab from that document is used in this game, along with language from a range of themes and topics covered at GCSE.
This document has 8 pages.
Page 1 - Information and Rules on How to Play 'Link 5'. Pupils can also refer to these during the game.
How To Play:
• Either choose a number OR to make the game more difficult, roll a dice up to 5 times per turn, to get a number.
• AIM: To be the first person to LINK 5 (in any direction, so long as linked). Your opponent must try to block you and link his/her own 5.
• When you choose a number, pick up any card and translate it into English. If correct (answers on back to check AFTER translation), either put a counter or your colour dot on that number. Then, it is your opponent’s turn.
• If your answer is incorrect, your opponent has a chance to translate your card correctly. Once a card has been used, place it at the bottom of the pile. The translation has to match, apart from slightly different wording, which is allowed.
• Keep playing until someone LINKS 5 or you are both blocked!
Underneath these instructions on the first page, is the 30 square board on which to play.
You can choose whether to print this and for it to written on by pupils and therefore be disposable or you can laminate it and use counters etc, so the board can be used numerous times.
Pages 2, 3 and 4 - Question cards to use for game. There are 36 in total and the Spanish on the cards varies in difficulty, so you can tailor the cards to the needs of your pupils. Each card has a thick black border and they are spaced evenly, to make it easier to laminate and cut.
Pages 5, 6 and 7 - The English translation of each Question card. These are in a lighter colour font, so when you cut them and stick them to the back of the Question cards, pupils cannot read the answer through the paper! I have produced the answers in such a way that enables you to lay the page on the back of the Question card page (obviously making sure you match them correctly) and to then stick them in exact alignment, prior to laminating and cutting. You may prefer not to provide answers, but this can be useful to ensure that there are no disputes about correct responses, during the game!
Page 8 - There are 30 Yellow counters and 30 Red. It is unlikely you will require anywhere near this amount of each colour, but they are there in-case. They are, again, spaced evenly, to make cutting easier. You may choose to use real counters or, laminate the board and pupils mark their 'counters' with a board pen, or you could leave the paper un-laminated and pupils put a coloured dot on their spaces.
You could add extra rules to make the game more interesting (eg: if they can also answer the question in Spanish, they can add another counter).
