Phrasal Verb Snap Game
This game can only be played with even numbers. If you have a group of odd numbers then you should join in the game to make up the
numbers. Print out the cards and laminate. For a game of two players just give them a pack of 1 colour (blue or red) each. Groups of
four shouldn’t be a problem. Players put their cards in front of them face down. Players take it in turns to place a card in the middle, word
side up – without looking at it first. When the card lands in the centre of the table, all the players should say the word. If a card lands on
top of a card that has the same meaning somebody must say “snap!” to win that round. After saying snap, the winner must say the
meaning for both words correctly. The winner then takes all the cards in the centre and places them next to their pile. The winner of the
game is the last person with the most cards.
