“Hoy vamos a jugar el juego de Heads Up."

3.    One student is going to choose a card from the deck without looking. The student is going to put a card on their forehead so that the rest of the group can see. The rest of the group is going to give hints to the person who has the card on their forehead.

Ustedes van a dar pistas en español solamente."
