5. Model the desired response, e.g., “Do you have a pencil?”
6. Students guess the item using the phrase, “Do you have a [vocabulary item]?”
7. Hand the vocabulary card to the student who guesses correctly.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for the other two cards, then with new sets of 3 cards until all vocabulary has been practised.
9. Continue for multiple rounds as time permits.
