The wash-out ( phrasal verb)

wash out  - Phrasal verb

1. To clean the inside of a container with a liquid
  =  Wash the pan out with detergent

2.To wash a dirty piece of clothing
 =   She washed her only pair of knickers out in the hotel sink

In my case I am using 'wash-out' as a noun

The thunderstorms we have had today, have made our afternoon a complete wash-out

Our plan for this afternoon was to go to Weston Super Mare, to experience a typical English seaside resort. We would have walked along the sea front, seen the donkey rides, bought an ice-cream or candy floss and visited the new pier.

Instead, we are going to play Cluedo.

It will:

revise prepositions - with  / in

introduce new vocabulary - connected to murder
                                          - names for the different rooms of a house
                                          - possible murder weapons
                                          - numbers 1-6

and develop speaking and listening skills in the context of playing a game.

She may also learn how competitive her teacher is!
