Presented by Loh Yoke Ling
A classroom classic, this game can also be called “Drop the
Chalk.” Use it to practice vocabulary or grammar where
spelling accuracy is important. One representative from

chalk. The first player with a correct answer wins a point, and calls the next
teammate to the board.

Mary’s Shopping List
I want to buy some onions, tomatoes and potatoes. But I think I
will not have enough money to buy them all. So, I will not buy
tomatoes then. I also want to get some snacks and a bar of
chocolate. But my mom wants me to buy cooking chocolate to
bake cake. Which one should I buy at the supermarket? I think I
will buy both. Aha…Mom reminds me to buy her some eggs. Mom
also wants me to buy her cooking oil, fish, and chicken. Mom
wants to make chicken curry for dinner. But I do not like
chicken, so I would buy meat instead of chicken. To make curry,
mom also need salt. So I’ll buy it for her. Do we need to put
ketchup in curry? I do not think so. So I better leave that out. I
also want to buy a bottle of coffee powder. Therefore I need sugar
in order to drink coffee at night. But, my father told me that it is
not good to drink coffee since it contains caffeine. Thus, I better
not buy coffee powder. I’ll buy tea then. In that case, I still need
to buy sugar then. Next week, I’ll go for my camping. I already
have a loaf of bread, so I think I better grab a tin of sardine to
make sandwiches. Hmm…yummy!

20 Questions
Level of the Game:
This game can be modified for the level of your students by using vocabulary and
language at the appropriate level. For those focusing on question structure, level 4
and 5 would be best.
This game can be used to review language, preview for the upcoming lesson or
simply to have fun. If forming questions is going to be the focus of the game, it is
necessary to stress this with the class at the beginning of the game.
Materials Needed:
Nothing
Procedure:
1. This is a whole class activity.
2. The students have to guess of what thing the person who is it is thinking by
asking him or her at most 20 yes/no type questions.
3. If no one guesses the answer after 20 tries, the answer is revealed.The
students pick a missing letter and the teacher fills in the blanks.
4. If a student has a "yes" answer, this earns the questioner another chance to
ask, a "no" passes the asking on to the next player.
Alternative for lower Levels:
Maybe your students are advanced enough to ask appropriate questions on their
own, in my case to facilitate my weak ones I hand out a print I made with examples
of questions. The first question on my print is, "Are you animal?/vegetable?/mineral?
Then below that I have written outline style three catagories of questions: animal,
vegetable and mineral. Under the animal heading my first question is, "Are you
human?" Then I have written questions like, "Are you famous?" "Are you in this
school?" "Are you a man/woman?" "Are you Japanese?", etc. In case the animal is
not human I have, "Can I eat you?" "Can I ride you?" "Are you bigger than a _____?"
etc. Under the vegetable heading I wrote questions like "Can I eat you?" "Are you
delicious?" "Are you in Japan?" etc. And finally under the mineral heading I wrote,
"Are you metal/plastic/stone/wood?" "Are you (blue)?" "Do I have you?" "Are you in
the classroom?" "Can I see you?" etc. By using the print my students get a feel for
asking questions in English and I have found many no longer need to refer to the
paper.

famous person’s name on their back. Don’t let the students see who their
person is. Do this with all the students.

students then ask questions about themselves. (i.e. Am I alive or dead?
Am I from this country? Am I a boy or girl?) The students are NOT allowed

Finish the Sentence
Level of the Game:
Good beginner/Intermediate
A simple activity which at first sight looks like a grammar-type exercise. However, the
students must complete each unfinished phrase truthfully. The example given, for
instance, can have many different endings, according to each person's situation.
Materials Needed:
White paper – A4, preferably lined.
Procedure:
1. Start this activity in silence, with each student writing down his or her own
completion. This guarantees that people will not be stuck for words, which
usually happens if you present somebody with a half-finished sentence
and ask for an immediate verbal reaction.
2. Give students time to think, they will produce better sentences.
3. The bonus here is that if, for example, you have a group of seven, each
student will probably come up with a different finish. This will definitely
trigger interest on the part of the other students, and reduce tension.
4. Moreover, it is the student who gets to create something.
5. The teacher merely oversees, and hence does not dominate the class.
Example:
My car ...
My car broke down two months ago while I was coming home
from work.
My car cost a lot but I don't like it anymore.

~ 104 ~
Now you try it.
7. My best friend ...
8. Last night ...
9. I have never ...
10.The third world ...
11.Politicians ...
12.Parents ...
13.I once dreamt that ...
14.I get really angry when ...
15.Some people ...
16.Going on holiday ...
17.Having my hair cut ...
18.Making my bed ...
19.A millionaire ...
20.When it rains, I ...
21.Vegetarians ...
If any of the sentences should provoke debate, let it develop.
