Countable and uncountable nouns answer me card game

Deal out the pack of cards. Ask each other questions like those in the table below or “How much/ many…?” questions to try to get answers from your partner that are written on your cards. If your question is grammatically incorrect, they can reject your question and play passes to the next person. If your partner says the thing written on one of your cards, you can place that card down on the table and score a point. The winner is the first person to get rid of all their cards, or the person with fewest cards left when the teacher stops the game.
