Spy Game - Stationery

Classic spy game edited for practicing stationery words and the grammar 'What do you have?' 'I have a....'

This is a game I got from TaysTeachingToolKit which can be found here > https://www.taysteachingtoolkit.com/ but I made cards and edited the powerpoint to fit in with Let's Try 2, Unit 5.

The powerpoint is only a visual for the rules, this game can be played with just cards.

Everyone gets one card and should keep it a secret. The goal is to find your entire team(four members), which are matching cards. You find your team members by asking the target grammar and answering with the card you have.

However there are four spies, they can answer whatever they'd like to try and sneak onto a team. When a team has four members, they come up to the teacher to reveal their cards to see if they found the correct team or if they got a spy!

I usually have a deck of 28, 24 regular cards and 4 spy cards.

      If anyone was interested in feedback I've received:

      The font may be difficult for 4th graders
      I should have excluded Japanese notes

      Feel free to take that into consideration. In hindsight I could have spent time simplifying some of the English rules but felt it was fine as my co-teacher was able to confirm rules with the class along the way, so I didn't have any problems. My class keeps begging for this game so I highly recommend it!

      Btw, it's StationEry. Unless you meant the not-moving game?
