The foreign guest game (business functional language review)
Photocopy and cut out one pack of cards per group of 2 to 4 students. Give each group a pack of cards to shuffle and place face down on the table. Always starting with card 1, students must find the cards and do the roleplays in order from 1 to 16. Anytime they pick the wrong card next or don’t succeed in the roleplay, play passes to the next person, who must also start from card number 1. The game is easiest if played with two teams of two students playing against each other in a group.
