- T divides Ss into 2 teams and asks them to choose 2 numbers. T turns the cards over to see if they match (E.g.: teach – taught), give them one mark. If not, T turns the cards over again and the next team continues until all the cards are opened.

- T elicits the words and then models 3 times

- Ss copy down

- Rub out the new words one at a time
