In each group, students take turns to read out one of their cards. If a student has the card with the opposite meaning, he/ she says “Snap!”, taking both cards and placing them face up on the table. If the student who reads out the word has the opposite card in his/her hand, he/ she says the words aloud and places both cards face up on the table and the next student reads out a word.
