1. Triple treat makes a comeback, one PDF board game per pair or group of 3; a die and a timer per pair or group of 3.

Procedure:

1. Put the students in pairs or groups of 3 and give them a copy of one of the board games and a die, they can use their phones for the timer. Aim to have all three board games in use at the same time.
2. Players take it in turns to throw the die twice – the first throw indicates which column they should use, and the second throw indicates which row, to obtain the question.
3. The player must then speak for at least 1 minute on that topic and provide their partner, or other two group members, with as much detail as possible.
4. The game continues in a circle going left.
5. Swap the board games after sufficient time to allow all three games to be played by each pair or group.
6. At the end, ask the students to name three new things they have learnt about their classmates.
