Across the honeycomb using the topic Accident in Spanish

The game starts with a grid of honeycomb cells containing numbers. Teams take it in turns to click on a number - a picture is revealed from the selected topic - the team must name or describe the picture in the target language to win that cell. If the class decides the language was acceptable, the team can click on the tick to claim that cell. If a team gets a string of linking cells across the board, they win that round. A point is scored for each tick, with a point deducted by clicking on the cross. The language (speech and text) for a picture is available by clicking on the question mark once a picture is revealed.
