So exciting!

My young adult learners LOVED this game. I had them work in teams to guess the answers. This was 20 years ago & now i volunteer teach beginners & I’m buying it again.

Gets the students talking!

I used this game for years when I taught adult ESOL students. Now I'm volunteering with refugees and boughr my own copy. It's fun, great for developing vocabulary, and it really loosens up a hesitant group.
