Level 3: Intermediate >> Games >> Like in the famous card game of "Snap", students put down sentence fragments until two go together - then someone cries "Snap!!!!" and wins a point. Practice of linking words such as depite, although, in spite of, however, etc.
Snap!!!
Cut up the cards and give one student/pair of students the cards marked Student A, and the other student/pair of students the Student B cards.
There are multiple copies of each card to increase the possibility of a "Snap!!!"
