Animals Twins Speaking Activity

This is a mixer activity that uses animal vocabulary, including 16 sets of twins. Each student gets a sheet with 5 pictures. Students mingle, speaking in the target language, trying to find their twin (the only other student with all 5 of the same pictures, but in a different order). This activity may be used on many different levels: identify the animal; describe the animal; “I like” the animal; “I want” the animal; “I see” the animal; where the animal lives; change tenses; change verbs. Once twins find each other, they should find something that they really have in common (favorite animal, etc) that is related to both the grammar and the vocabulary of the activity. This activity has pictures only so may be used for any language; the only text is in English - “twin” and “in common”.
