Instructions

Students can play individually, but it’s much more fun in teams.

Display the poster and assign score cards accordingly (Team 1, Team 2…).

Choose a card to start and read it aloud to the students. Set a time limit (60-90 seconds) for students to respond to the question by using the verbs found on their score card. For more advanced students, let them come up with as many answers as possible within the time limit. Each time a word has been used, mark it off on their score card. Tally up the sentences which are grammatically correct and award points accordingly. If a word was crossed off but used incorrectly, the cross stays but no points are awarded.

Play as many rounds as you want or to a time limit. The team or student with the most points at the end wins.

For example, for the first card and the score card for Team 1: Your baby is crying. What have you done?

–  I have repeated to the next door neighbor to stop playing basketball in my driveway at least ten times but he never listens! (1 point)

–  My favorite team has won the game so I decided to sing the national anthem! (2 points)

–  I haven’t changed her diaper in a while. (2 points)
