A similar game is with this food quilt to associate the word to the picture.

Besides the board and the game pieces there is a set of cards that students will collect once they get to say if the noun is countable or uncountable. Communication systems will activate with a speaker and listener interaction.

This descriptive sentence game is fun as the students will draw what they managed to write using the cards and then transcribing on the worksheet. They can add more sentences to develop writing skills. This kind of activity encourages the use of more varied vocabulary. They can explore writing more sentences.
