2. Each student stands up with one of his/her pictures.
3. The student finds a partner, looks at his/her picture, and asks, “What is this?”
4. The partner replies, for example, “It’s a hammer.”
5. After teaching and learning, they exchange papers and find a new partner.
6. Continue until most students know most of the words.
