NOTES
These are activities to practise some health problem vocabulary. ou can find some #$a"har!" on th the pages 1 – 5% ou can demonstrate them while introducing some new vocabulary (though! it seems to me it’s better to mime all possible words and e"pressions). ou can also give them out to your students to play a guessing game (one person mimes a word – the rest should guess which word (s)he shows). #nother way of using them is to match the word (e"pression) with a picture. #nd it always a great fun to play a matching game$ place these cards blank side up! students should take two cards in turns! if the picture and the word match (s)he keeps this pair! if they they don’t – puts them back. ou can use cards from pages 6 and 7 as as a !o&'no ga&e. %ake enough piles for your group (there are && cards! so it’s better to have one pile for a group of ' – students). ut the cards as it shown (- - - -) but mind not to cut the dividers ( * ). +inally play this domino game matching the words and the pictures. #nother (more complicated) !o&'no ga&e is represented on the pages 7 and 8. hildren should shoul d match two phrases (a problem problem and a piece of advice). #ctually #ctually!! in some cases solutions solutions are very much alike! so let your students make a chain from domino cards first (, also placed the way , arranged the cards).
