ALWAYS IN MY BAG/NEVER IN MY BAG...
Divide the players in teams and say: It’s summer time, what can I put in my suitcase? Each team will list the items to pack in the suitcase. The game can have a time limit or can end when one of the teams says Stop! Teams gain 1 point for each correct answer, while for each wrong answer they lose a point. The winner is the team with the highest score. The game leader can also say: It’s summer time, what have I not to put in my suitcase? / What do I not need? and: It’s winter time, what can I put in my suitcase? It’s winter time, what have I not to put in my suitcase? / What do I not need? Players can also practise the structure: What do you wear in winter/summer? In winter/summer I wear…
