This works if each student has matching student cards identical to the teacher's flash cards. Student (Flash) Cards are not to be photocopied under OUP (.com) regulations for the Let's Go series but if you are using English Land (.info) then you are provided with B&W pages of student flashcards for all 8 chapters in the back of the Teachers Manual that may be photocopied. An English Land Teachers Manual may run a little over $40, but in the Let's Go series each student has to buy their own set of flash cards just under $40 for each set for each student. (Students can still learn vocabulary quickly without buying flash cards in which case this game may be skipped.)
