Game Rules
You may play in pairs or small groups (up to 4 people). Each group will need a dice and a set of 30 cards, put on the table face down. Students draw a card from the stack (every card has a NOUN written on it), roll the dice, and then you need to form new words depending on the numbers rolled, and use them in a sentence.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Throw the dice

1,2 – make a VERB

3,4 – make an ADJECTIVE

5,6 – make an ADVERB
Example: a student drew SIMPLICITY and rolled 2; they need to make a verb SIMPLIFY and use it in a sentence e.g. They should simplify exam instructions.

For each correct word players get a point.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Rules
Some noun cards have an asterisk * next to the word: there is an extra point if the player can name the noun with the opposite meaning (e.g. BELIEF –> DISBELIEF).

The teacher has all the word forms written down and helps clarify problematic cases, however, students should correct each other and keep the score. 
To make it more exciting you could set a 20 second time limit.
