Ask and answer
Short answers come early in English: Yes, it is; No, it can’t; It’s red. The voice asks a question about a picture and each team taps the right answer, which the voice then says. It starts with yes or no questions and moves on to What is it?, What colour?, How many?, Where? and What is she doing?

How to play it in class
- Choose the year and difficulty, or in More options the questions, the extra answers, the hints, the voice and the points.
- Press Start: the voice asks the question and both halves see the same picture.
- The first team to tap the right answer wins the point and the voice says it in full. After a mistake, that half pauses for a moment.
- The first team to reach the goal wins.
