Family vocabulary and possessive S reversi memory game

Fold the cards you are given so there is a family word on one side and an explanation on the other, then leave them spread over the table, either side up. The first person should choose one card, guess what is on the other side, turn over to check, then do the same with other cards until they make a mistake. Your teacher will tell you if you need to say all of the definitions if the word has more than one meaning, or if just one meaning is okay. Other definitions and names which mean exactly the same thing, e.g. “grandpa”, are also okay. However, you must use possessive S (’s or s’) in “mother’s”, “parents’”, etc correctly to get a point and to be able to continue your turn.

Whenever someone makes a mistake, the next person can do the same with the same cards, other cards, or a mix of the same and new cards. Any cards guessed correctly should be left the other way up so that they have to be transformed the other way next time. The winner is the first person to do all the cards in one go with no mistake, or the person with the longest chain of correct guesses in one go during the game.
