The game is pretty simple: I prepared a list of six group of words, picked more or less from the textbook. Each group has six words in it. Five are pretty much related, one is a bit of an alien. Now you need a die to play the game. Make teams.
Have someone roll the dice.
The first roll determines the group of words. The second, the least number of words they have to use to make a sentence in a given time. More words from the list are used, more points. Not up to par, zero points.
Really simple, students loved it. Lot of variations possible.
