Activity 4a 

Click here to start the activity: Activity 4a

1. The game should be run as a whole class. 
2. There are ten questions about shopping habits and experiences. The task is for students to complete each question with a missing word/collocation that they practised in the previous activities. The clue for the missing word is the slow reveal picture below each question. 
3. 📍 There is no new language introduced in this task so students should already be familiar with the missing words.   
4. When students have guessed the missing word, click on the pink shape below the picture to reveal the question and two follow up questions for further mingle activity.
   
5. Click on the A option when you are ready to move on to the next question/image.
