Using 'Happy Families' to introduce vocabulary relating to professions

'Happy Families' is a game that uses a taylor-made pack of cards. Each card has the name of a family member such as 'Mr Bun the baker', 'Mrs Bun the baker's wife', 'Miss Bun the baker's daughter' or 'Master Bun the baker's son'. You need a minimum of three players but you can use a dummy. You deal out all the cards and then ask eachother for a specific card such as 'Do you have Mr Bun the Baker?' If the player has the card they give it to you but if they don't have the card they say 'Not at home'. Then it is that person's turn to ask. You can only ask for a card if you already hold a card in that family. Once you have collected all the cards in one family you put that set down on the table. At this point I asked my student to describe the picture. We had a baker so we discussed the words 'dough', 'kneading', 'rolling', 'pastry', 'filling', 'cake' and 'pie'. The player who puts down the most sets wins.
