This is another interesting game that stresses that children have to look at the small details. It can be played individually, in pairs or in teams but usually, it is played in pairs. Pair-work offers intensive, realistic practice promoting a friendly classroom ambiance in which multiplies the opportunity to practice the language. It is an efficient way of spending classroom time. I strongly recommend you to use it in the class!

In recent years, many programmes and projects related to multilingualism have increased and have been implemented in educational centers all over Europe. Many of these programmes are already present in different educational areas in both compulsory and non-compulsory levels. This trend is motivated by the guidelines of the European Union (EU) that directs its work towards a multilingual society. According to the EU, one of the challenges of the current society is to train students to master different languages, to promote intercultural dialogue and a greater social cohesion and integration. The present text provides a sample of a CLIL unit planning procedure to give answer to some of the questions regarding methodology and materials design arising among the bilingual teaching community. Well mates, we think that in this issue we can see a lesson planning procedure to be used in a CLIL primary setting. This is a different methodological approach in current bilingual classrooms. The text provides a planning tool for unit planning for content and language integrated as well a series of strategies aimed at achieving the necessary objectives for successful bilingual teaching. The development of this unit planning procedure allowed the teacher to anticipate to the demands of the students in the necessary tools to develop the tasks assigned for a proper acquisition of content knowledge and language skills.
