For when you've had enough of dice!
Put students in groups of four; each group has a bag of coloured chips.
First, display the target language (in our case language from the topic 'chunk') on the board. One student chooses a chip which corresponds to a phrase and translates it into English to the group. The bag is passed around clockwise with the group helping each student if they're stuck (or tallying scores if they're competitive!)
Then show the language on the board in English (students have the 'chunk' on the table to refer to as well). As students choose a chip, they now have to translate into target language.
The final stage is the trickiest! Remove the language support from the groups and display only sentence starters on the board.
As a plenary, the teacher can take control of the bag of chips and randomly select students to complete sentences.
