Quiz Quiz Trade

(TESOL Ideas--Any Vocabulary Set)

This activity was recently introduced to me by one of the trainers at my school.  
As it was explained to me, it works like this:
Each student is given a flashcard (or printed paper) with a picture of a vocabulary word on it.  Each student has a different picture.
They walk around the room and find another student to pair up with.  Then, each student asks the other one "What is this?"  The other student must identify the picture.
Then, after both students have quizzed the other one, they trade pictures, so that each student now has a new picture. 
They must then go and find another student to quiz with their new picture.

This activity can also be used for grammar points if a student is given a prompt that requires using a grammatical feature in the answer.

I've done a brief search online just now, and have found a few websites that do a better job of explaining this activity than I have done.  So see also here, here, here, etc.
