Game: British Words
Supplies:
- Word cards
- You will need to write the correct number on the back of each card.
The girls take turns to draw a card and read out the British word and all of the possible Canadian words. They then all guess what they think the word means in "Canadian" English. Flip the card over to see if you were right! The girls did not do this competetively, just as a fun "I didn't know that!" activity.
