Match race
Find the partner with the card that matches yours and hand them in together.
Questions and answers are printed separately. Every pupil gets a number of cards (for example 5 or 10) that do not match each other: a question or an answer, never both. Within the time the pupils try to get rid of as many cards as possible. They do this by looking for the other pupil with the matching card and handing in both cards together to the teacher.

How Match race works
Print the questions and the answers separately.
Every pupil gets a number of cards (for example 5 or 10) that do not match each other: a question or an answer, never both.
Choose the time and start the timer on the digital board.
The pupils look for the partner with the matching card and hand the cards in together to the teacher, who checks whether it is right.
Whoever gets rid of all their cards within the time wins. If a pair comes with a wrong answer, both pupils get an extra card.
