It explains that "have got" is more appropriate than "is/are" in this context because it signifies owning the items in one's bag. The activity has the students keep guessing contents until they find 4-5 items, then report their findings to the teacher, who can verify the accuracy of what was guessed by checking one of the bags.

    Function: To indicate possession/ownership This is a pair work game where two students guess about the contents of each

    others school bags. While there is/are could be used in this context, it is not as appropriate as have got in that the latter usually signifies ownership and it can be safely assumed that most items in schoolbags probably belong to the bags owner. Students continue guessing until they have found out four or five things about the contents of their partners bags, at which point they go to the teacher together to report their findings: Student A: Have you got a pencil in your bag? Student B: No, I havent. Have you got a teddy bear in your bag? Student A: Yes I have! Have you got a lunch box in your bag? Student B: Yes, I have! Have you got a cookie in your bag? A quick and realistic way to check this games results would be for the teacher to actually look into one of the students bags while that students partner reports (using the 3 person) about the contents. Note that have got is generally more common in British Engl ish than American English, which usually just uses have and do you have?
