British Newspaper Headlines 2017
A short exercise for advanced adult groups that like to talk about current affairs. I got the idea from ESL printables member, Stephen Caupano. It can be played with the bottom word box covered to make it more challenging with extra points for funny headlines. Answers overleaf.
