31 Too true! Absolutely!

(6.1 Vocabulary)
Aim: To practise vocabulary related to the media, truth
and falsehood.
Interaction: Pairs.
Type of activity: Memory game and discussion.
Time: 15 minutes.
Materials: One set of 24 cards per pair.
In class: (1) Copy the worksheet and cut up the cards
as indicated. (2) Tell students that they are going to play
a memory game in pairs. Give each pair of students one
set of shuffled wide cards and one set of narrow cards.
Tell students to put the cards face down in two columns
according to width. The wide cards should be placed
on the left. (3) Students take turns to turn over one wide
and one narrow card at a time in order to find pairs
of sentences with similar meanings. The sentence pairs
are short conversations between two people sharing
the same opinions. Explain that we say too true when
we think something is true although we wish it wasn’t.
(4) If students find a matching pair, they remove it from
the game as a trick. If not, they put the cards back
in exactly the same place they were. Get students to read
the cards out every time they turn them over, to reinforce
the target vocabulary. (5) The game is over when all the
matching pairs have been found. The student with the
most tricks is the winner. (6) Ask students to talk to each
other and say which of the opinions they disagree with.

Optional follow-up: You may ask students if they know

people who tend to agree with everyone on everything.
