Part A
Before the lesson, ask pupils to bring in things they like to feel.
In pairs, pupils show each other the things they have collected and describe how the things feel like.
Part B
Collect all the things from pupils and choose eight things for the game.
Put the eight things in the covered boxes (four things per box). Name the boxes as Box A and Box B.
In each pair, let one pupil be Pupil A and the other pupil be Pupil B.
All the Pupil As come to the front of the class and take turns to feel the things in Box A. At the same time, all the Pupil Bs come to the front of the class and take turns to feel the things in Box B. Then they write down their guesses on the notes on the Copymaster.
Pupils get in their pairs again and tell each other about their guesses.
The teacher reveals what the things are in both boxes. The pairs get one point for each correct guess. The pair with the most points wins.
Collect things you like to feel. Show your partner.
