Mama Mia! Host an Italian Lesson

1. Postcards with Italian words written on them - Download resource
2. A table for people to gather around

1. Put the cards face down in a pile on a table
2. Gather the group together (we recommend groups of about 6)
3. Encourage people to take turns to pick a card from the pile and reveal it to the group
4. Ask them to try and read out how they think the word should sound
5. Collectively, the group should guess what that word might be
6. This isn’t meant to be a competitive game, but if you’d like to you could score points for correct answers and award a small prize to the winner!

We suggest making it hard enough that people won’t feel silly if they guess incorrectly – but include a few words that we all know too. Ciao and bella could be fun entry starter words, for example.
