how to play

This flashcard game idea can be adapted to any language concept (in this case, to our Going Shopping topic). The instructions below are just a starting point to inspire you.

Put your cards in the box.
Players take turns reaching into the box and pulling out a flashcard. If they can answer to the question correctly, they get to keep the card. If the player is incorrect, the card goes back into the box.
Continue taking turns, collecting correctly answered cards.
If you pull out a BANG! card, you must put your whole pile of cards back into the box.
At the end of the game, whoever has the most cards is the winner.
