International Women's Day - Colour Pack

The aim of this card game is to practise questions and short answers using the present simple tense of the verb “work” in the third person singular form, as well as vocabulary related to 50 occupations. This game is a version of the classic card game "Go Fish", in which students must find two identical cards and collect as many pairs as possible. The teacher should print two copies of the resource. The cards are shuffled and then dealt so that each student has five cards (seven in smaller groups and three in larger groups). The rest of the cards are placed face down in a pile in the middle of the table. Students take turns to play the game. One by one, each student asks another classmate if they have a particular card by asking the question written on the card (e.g. “Does Kelly work as a pilot?”). If the other student has the same card, they must provide the corresponding short answer (e.g. “Yes, she does.”) and give it to the student who asked the question. If the student being asked does not have the particular card, they will reply with a negative short answer (e.g. “No, she doesn’t.”). The other classmates will then say “Go Fish”, and the student who asked the question must take one card from the pile. The game continues until all the cards have been distributed, and the student with the most pairs at the end will be the winner.

Curso: 1.-4. ESO

A visual dictionary highlighting 50 occupations, with images of working women in both colour and black and white, complemented by a word search puzzle to reinforce the vocabulary.

Curso: 1.-2. ESO

This resource contains 48 cards with colour images of occupations, designed for playing a guessing game called “Who Am I?”. In this game, players must use yes/no questions to guess the job. Although the game works well with any group size, the larger the group, the more entertaining it becomes. Here are some examples of the questions the players may ask: -          Do I work outdoors? / - No. -          Do I work in a hospital? / - No. -          Do I wear a hat? / - Yes. -          Do I work in a kitchen? / - Yes. -          Am I a chef? / - Yes. The winner of the game will be the player who is able to guess the most occupations. SETUP: Place the cards face down in the centre of the playing area. Each player takes a headband and adjusts it around their head. The teacher deals the cards and inserts one into the clip of the headband so that the other players can see it, but the wearer cannot. Another option is to stick the card to the forehead of each player. A timer is needed to make the game more challenging. On their turn, each student will ask questions to guess their occupation.

Curso: 1.-4. ESO

This resource includes 48 small cards, each featuring an illustration, occupation-related vocabulary, and a different female name. We recommend using only 24 cards per game. Each player or team selects a mystery character. By asking yes-or-no questions, they try to identify their opponent’s mystery character. When a player thinks they know who it is, they make a guess. If the guess is incorrect, they lose the game.
