The game is a PPT take on the more traditional Kim’s game were items might be on a tray, covered up and one taken away. Children guess what is missing. The game is based on a teacher arriving in class and the items and decoration that is in the classroom. The first slide on each page is the same and on the second one or more items have been taken away. E.g the lunch box from under the table in slide 1 and the empty cola can in slide 2. Children could work in pairs or groups or you could play the game as a whole class. Use a timer for more fun!
