The final slide is a game of our famous 'Donate or Steal'. In teams (blue & red), pupils answer a question and choose a square from the opponents’ grid. Their opponents then get that score. They are allowed to steal one score only from their opponents throughout the game. An ‘X’ is a wipeout and wipes the opponents’ score.

This encourages students to use context and clues to work out the new vocab. Finish with a team game. Students choose a number and answer a question about places in town. If they guess correctly, click to reveal their score underneath.
