Cards of the Future
Divide the class into small groups.

Give each group a set of cut up cards. The future form cards should be placed face up, and
the question cards should be placed face down in a pile.

Each student in turn picks up a question card and decides which future form card would be
the most suitable match for the question on the card (prediction, decision, arrangement,
etc.).

The student then asks questions using the phrase on the question card and the correct
future form.

The card is then placed under the appropriate future form card. If more than one future form
is possible, the student should just select one.

When all the question cards have been used up, each group writes their own three questions
for each future form and gives the nine questions to another group to answer.
