THE COLOR CODED CARDS

The REAL POWER of LMQ!


🤨 TEACHING WHAT HAPPENS to Verbs when the Subject or Verb Tense changes is not easy.

So we came up with a color system to make things easier for you and your students, making LMQ an effective and fun way to learn grammar.

The Color Coded Cards

Topic Card in 5 Colors

🤔 WHAT IS THIS COLOR CODING?

The Color Coded Cards allow you to assign names, pronouns, verb tenses, different questions and more to a border color.

The border colors of the Topic cards correspond with the colors of the Color Code Cards.

So, during a game you apply what's on the Color Coded Cards to the corresponding Topic Cards.

This means that, even if you play all five "listen to music" cards in a row, the target language for each card will be different.  A fun way to learn grammar.


DIFFERENT SUBJECTS

Do you like to listen to music?

Does Tom like to listen to music?

DIFFERENT SUBJECTS, DIFFERENT TENSES

You can use the solid colored cards to assign your own questions to each color....

Do you like to listen to music?

Do you think that listening to music is a waste of time?


These are just a few of the many ways to use the Color Coded Cards.

How you use them and when you use them is entirely up to you and your students.  

You can find more examples in the manual, on the Game Page, the Download Page, and on our Blog...  and most likely, you will find your own way to use them....
