Spoons is a card game where the objective is to be the first to collect four cards of the same rank or if an opponent beats you to it, to not be the last one to grab a spoon. You will need to create sets of 4 cards for each player. For MFL the set could contain an image, the word in TL, the word in English and the word used in an example sentence. There must be an equal set of cards to match the numbers of players and 4 cards should be distributed to players at random. The players also need a spoon each in the middle of the table. Players simultaneously choose one card from their hand, pass that card to the player on their left, and take the card passed from the player on their right. Each player must not have have more than four cards in their hand. Once a player has collected a full set, they must take a spoon as subtly as they can and place it in front of themselves. Once a spoon has been taken by the player with a set, then the others must grab a spoon too. The last to take a spoon is out. The original spoon taker replaces his full set with the loser's hand. So the game continues. As the final two players are joint winners, this game works best with a larger number of students than we would normally use for group work.
