  • Students find a partner and play rock, paper, scissors.
  • The winner tells the loser, "Touch your _____." (according to their card) The loser must touch the body part and say its name in English. For example, Winner: "Touch your head" Loser: (touches head) "head"
  • The winner must say, "Yes" if the loser gets the correct body part. "No" if the loser gets the body part wrong.
  • Students then switch cards and find a new partner.

VARIATIONS:
