Mark my words

In pairs, one person takes a post card and secretly writes down 5 key terms relating to the topic previously studied. Their partner must then talk for a minute on the topic and will receive a mark for each of the key words they say during that minute. Then swap roles and see who gets the highest score. 

A variation on this game is to do the opposite. Allocate 5 points to the player. Their partner writes down the 5 key terms as before but this time the player must talk about the topic without mentioning the terms on the card - they are  taboo. If they do, they lose a mark for each taboo word. They will have a score out of 5 at the end.
