Million Dollar Weekend in Phrasal Verbs
This Phrasal Verbs Poster was created and designed to be used in a multitude of contexts:
- Display it on a wall in the classroom, in the hallway, in the bathroom or anywhere one learns English;
- For use during lessons both in-person and online;
- For a student’s individual use or for homework.
The basic idea behind the poster is to describe your weekend by using a number of common phrasal verbs. Each verb is given a $ amount connected to the verb’s difficulty. The more difficult verbs a student uses, the more money he wins (or the more money he spends, depending on the way you play the game). Of course, it’s possible to vary the game based on your students level or grammar you are currently working on in the classroom.
- Describe a weekend in the past tense;
- Describe your plans for the weekend in the future tense;
- Mix past continuous and past simple;
- Make a list of things you must do this weekend (by using modals of obligation).
The poster is presented in 4 different formats:
- A4 color sheets;
- A4 black & white sheets
- A poster format for A3-A0 printing;
- A JPG or PNG file for easy copy and paste onto virtual whiteboards.

Hi, the idea of random phrasal verbs is good but I honestly don’t understand the part about “earning money”. I mean, I’m not going to give my students any money for the tast, in fact, I’m not going to give them anything for the activity. So what is the point of forcing ourselves into acting like we’re excited about a sum of money we got for nailing a use of words.
As a suggestion, I’m debating whether it is necessary to include any sort of “award” for it at all. Just maybe include a number of stars to indicate the difficulty of the verb?
