Procedure
Divide the class into pairs and give each pair a set of cards, which should be shuffled and placed on the desk face down.
The first student picks up the top card and reads out the clues, one at a time.
After listening to each clue, their partner guesses what the meal could be.
If the guess is incorrect, the first student reads out the next clue, and so on.
When the second student guesses correctly, he or she gets the number of points indicated next to the clue.
The second student then picks up the next card from the pile, and starts reading out the clues while their partner tries to guess the job.
The game finishes when all the cards have been read.
The winner is the student with the most points.
