7. Board game with parts of speech

You can play with the vocabulary of your topic (here: with the vocabulary of tourism).
You have a model game board and a blank game board in the appropriate document. We propose
you to print it out in A/3 format. If you want, you can laminate them. Or you can print out again and
again the blank game board when you plan a new game with new categories. Filling in the boxes
takes only a few minutes! You also have word cards for the game about tourism and blank word
cards that you can use for your own topics. You only should print them, laminate them and use them
whenever you need it. You can use alcohol markers for writing the words on the blank cards. At the
end of the game you can easily wipe the cards with a sponge/handkerchief and alcohol.
The documents you need for this game:
game_board.docx
word_cards_for_game_board.docx
blank_word_card.docx
