Most people know the "I'm going to market and I need x game, where subsequent players need to recite an ever-growing shopping list.

This timed game is also played in a circle and can be used for similar vocabulary sets. A card with a vocabulary item is needed for each seat. One seat (to the right of the teacher's) is designated as the winning seat and the aim for the students is to be the one in that seat when the time is up.

Imagine the topic is food. The teacher starts by saying, "I'm going shopping and we need bread. The student on the bread chair responds, "We have bread, but we need milk". The student on the milk chairs responds, "We have milk, but we need potatoes" etc. If a student doesn't respond quickly enough, or makes a mistake, he/she move to the seat to the left of the teacher and the others move one place to the left. The teacher starts again.

The game can be made easier by having a list of possible words on the board, and more complicated by regularly shuffling the placement of the words around the circle of chairs.
