In this health collocations game, students play dominoes by matching words together to make health and fitness collocations and then using the collocations in sentences. In the game, the first player tries to make a health or fitness collocation by placing a domino down either before or after the domino on the table. If the player successfully forms a health or fitness collocation, they score a point. For an extra point, the student then tries to make a meaningful sentence using the collocation. The other group members listen and judge the player's sentence. If the sentence demonstrates the meaning of the collocation, the player scores an extra point. The next player then tries to put down one of their dominoes at either end of the domino chain and so on. When a player has gotten rid of all their dominoes, the game ends. Students then tally up their scores to find the winner.
