MATERIALS AND PREPARATION
Download material: job picture cards and job name cardsGame 1 Copy and cut up the picture cards. Remember to copy on both sides. You will need one set for each pair of students in your class.
Game 2 No materials.Game 3 From the picture card sheets, choose as many jobs as there are students in your class (e.g. if you have twelve students, choose twelve jobs. (You do not need to copy the words in the reverse side this time.) Cut the first sheet up into individual job cards - one for each student in the class. Cut the remaining four copies up into (vertical) strips of four jobs so that each student will have a strip of four job pictures. (The aim is for each student to have one individual job cards plus a strip of four pictures.)Note: If you don’t feel your class need to learn all the jobs, simply select those you feel appropriate for the class. For game 3, if you have taught fewer jobs in Game 1 than the number of students in your class, just play the game in two groups.
HOW TO USE THE GAMES
Game 1 Memorizing - pairwork sorting and matching game- Divide the students into pairs.
- Give each pair of students a set of job pictures with the name of jobs on the back.
- They should spread the cards out on the table with the pictures uppermost
- They should take it in turns to pick up a picture card and try to remember the name of the job. They can check if they are right by turning the card over. If they are right, they can keep the card. If not, they should replace it.
- The object of the game is to collect as many cards as possible.
- When they have finished, they can spread the cards out with the names uppermost, and work together to divide them into two groups; people who work inside and people who work outside. Again, the can check by looking at the pictures on the back.
- Students can also sort cards in the same way into 'people who wear uniforms' and 'people who don't wear uniforms'.
Game 2 Personalising - small group discussion- Put up the following sentence frame:
My father is a/an ....
My mother is a/an ....
My sister is a/an ....
My brother is a/an ....
My husband is a/an ....
My wife is a/an...
My aunt is a/an...
My uncle is a/an...
My son is a/an...
My daughter is a/an...
Choose the family members to suit the ages of the students in your class. - Ask the students to write down as many jobs in their family as they can think of in five minutes.
- Then divide the class into small groups as evenly as possible and ask them to share their information.
- Finally, ask them to total up the number of jobs in their group families and to give you a group total. Which group has the largest number of jobs?
Game 3 Communicating - whole class search game (Jobsearch)- Give every student in the class a job picture card. Tell them to imagine this is their job.
- Then give everyone a strip of four job pictures. Tell them that these are jobs done by people in the class.
- The object of the game is to find out which students do the jobs in the four pictures.
- To do this, they will have to stand up and move around the class asking everyone 'What do you do?' until they find the four people who have the jobs in the strip of pictures they have been given.
- Finally, ask the students to get into groups of three or four and share their information. Have they got enough information to match a job with every student in the class? Which group can match the most names with jobs?

So accurate. I've been seeing 1 man who sends really mixed signals so close and affectionate when we see every other, but with months between calls and dates. He recently starting texting me very suggestively, and shortly after a suggestive text to me(on Christmas day), he began posting photos on FB of himself and his children with another woman. They were acquiring a Christmas tree together, cooking in his kitchen, hugging and certainly celebrating with each other. I unfriended him before I had even seen them all, then blocked him on my phone. Part of me feels as though I had been a little also hasty, but the other part says that he was clearly making a public statement. I chose to study that assertion as PLAYER'!

Scott the complete blotted stomach thing is
on account of HGH. It makes your total body develop, which contains your organs.
These bodybuilders have big organs which make them appear
blotted. They still have about %5 physique fat, and that is
why you'll be able to still see their abdominals.
