The aim of this card game is to practise yes/no questions and short answers using the structures Is there…? / Are there…?, as well as vocabulary related to the city.

This game is based on the classic card game Go Fish, in which students try to find matching pairs and collect as many as possible.

Instructions:

1. The teacher should print two copies of the resource.
2. Shuffle the cards and deal them so that each student has five cards (or seven cards in small groups / three cards in larger groups). Place the remaining cards face down in a pile in the centre of the table.
3. Students take turns. On their turn, a student asks another classmate if they have a particular card, using the question written on the card (e.g. “Is there an airport in your city?”).
4. If the classmate has the card, they answer with the short answer (“Yes, there is.”) and give the card to the student who asked the question.
5. If the classmate does not have the card, they reply with the negative short answer (“No, there isn’t.”). The other students then say “Go Fish!”, and the student who asked the question takes one card from the pile.
6. The game continues until all the cards have been paired. The student with the most pairs wins the game.
