There are 4 suites (hearts, clubs, spades, diamonds)

Each suite has a corresponding verb/helping verb (have, like, go, be). You can use these (or not) in your games--depending on the target language you're practicing and what your students have already had exposure to.

Recommended use:
These cards can either be used for warm-up activities or practice activities--after presenting the vocabulary/grammar point(s).

1. Make sure students already understand the grammar/vocabulary (listed above) that they will be using these cards to practice with.
2. Give them a minute or two to look through the deck to see all of the beautiful and eye catching images--and think about what they are in English.
3. Play a simple or slow paced or turn based card game that they can first use to practice the core vocabulary.
4. If you're practicing a grammar point, have them say that grammar point with the picture on the card in the 2nd or 3rd round of the game.
5. Walk around and help students with pronunciation and mistakes.
6. At the end of the game, ask who the winners are and congratulate them while giving positive feedback to the class.
7. Have the groups count 52 cards and return the decks.
