A fun activity that can be used as a starter or plenary over and over again. It is a page of words including rooms, prepositions, colours, adjectives, numbers, and months. Pupils race each other to skim and scan the sheet to find 3,5 or 8 of the words given. Suggestions for groups of words by topic and sound are given on a separate sheet. The coloours of the words do not mean anything in particular - they just help pupils to distinguish the individual words.
