Come stai strip lotto!
• Fold a bit of paper 5 times length ways so that you have 6
folds
• In each fold write a different feeling e.g. Io ho fame
• Whole class asks the teacher, Come stai? and the teacher
chooses an answer.
• If this answer is at the top or bottom of the pupils paper,
they can then tear that strip off (it has to be at the top or
bottom!)
• This continues until a pupil has one strip left and if this is
called they tear that in half and shout Lotto!
• You can then play again with the winner as the bingo caller.
• This game can be extended by acting out the feeling and
pupils should then tell you the answer.
Psychic Flashcards
• This is a really simple but popular game and it’s a good
way to practise vocabulary.
• Ask pupils to each write a feeling on a piece7 of A4 paper (could
also draw a picture).
• Collect all paper in, shuffle them and hold them in a pile, facing
away from the class so they can’t see whichever one is on top.
• Tell pupils that you want them to test out their telepathic/psychic
powers.
• Very discretely select a page and keep it hidden from the class.
• Tell them you would like them to concentrate on your brain and
you will think intently of the feeling on the page.
• Give them a set amount of time to try and “read your mind” and
then they can try and guess.
• Whoever guesses correctly then gets to come and select one.

practise the vocabulary in the classroom.
