8A Fame and fortune

You will need: one set of cards for each pair of students.
· Students worl< in pairs (or in groups of three). Give each
pair a set of cards and tell them to spread them out in
front of them face down without looking at them first.
The students t3ke it in turns to turn over any two cards.
If a student finds a collocation in bold that matches, he/
she keeps the cards as a 'trick' and has another turn. If
the cards do not match, he/she must replace them face
down in exactly the same place.
The activity continues until all cards are matched up.
The student with the most tricks wins.

Students then put down all the pairs and pvt the
sentences in a 1ogical order to complete th-:: story. Check
the answers with the whole class {see Resource bank key).
