This highly engaging, whole-class memory game is the perfect review or formative assessment when teaching classroom vocabulary and prepositions of place.  Students will try to memorize where objects are in a room and then their memory to remember what was in the room where. The game has three progressively more challenging rounds.  This game encourages high school ESL and adult ESOL students to use classroom vocabulary and prepositions in sentences as they try to anticipate what the next round of memory questions will be. And because you get an editable link, you can move the objects in the room around, add objects, and revise questions endlessly. It's a game you can return to again and again throughout the year as a review that students will love.  This resource is a PDF that includes a Canva template link for your personal classroom use.
