Materials	6 different coloured cards with appropriate questions or sentences inside (minimum 6 in each)
Grouping and interaction	Groups of 5 or 6 children, one of them has to be the speaker and they have to share and agree an answer in turns.
Description	· First of all, you have to make groups, and then they have to choose a name for the group and a speaker. · The teacher writes the names on the board and explains the game. They play in turns choosing the coloured card (subject). Every correct answer scores 2 points, only 1 point if they don't know it exactly or in English. · If a group doesn't know the answer; the following group has a chance to say it and scores 1 extra point. . The game finishes when the time is over or when the teacher decides. · There's just an important rule: Children can't complain. If they do, his or her group loses 1 point.
Variations	·The children can write their own questions. ·You can be flexible in term of grouping and on subjects, more or less topics or different as games, music, art...
Evaluation	It's a good way to develop team work skills. Students have to check understanding, share opinions and agree on an answer. The teacher can adapt the questions asking easy ones to a low group or challenging ones to a good group.
