Let's play!

Find the country!

Here are the flags of these countries. Play the game in pairs. Think of a flag but don't tell your classmate which one. He/she asks questions about the colours of the flags to guess which one it is. Look at this example:

Student A: Is it blue?

Student B: No, it isn't

Student A: Is it white?

Student B: Yes, it is

Student A: Is it green?

Student B: Yes, it is

Student A: So, it's the Italian flag!

But remember! You've only got five questions!
