I have these cards cut up into their categories and on different colours of card. Each category then has its own mini drawer in a mini storage chest in my classroom (found it on Amazon). More advanced students use the cards to make their own sentences, selecting the categories they wish (pronouns, verbs, etc).

The pictures and phrases are placed around the room (several copies). Pupils work in groups of 3 or 4. Each person has 30 seconds to go up to the pictures and memorise as much information as possible without speaking. They return to their group and relay as much as possible. Pupils take it in turns to do the same. Each person has 2 chances to do this.
