True or False?

Presented by Lisa MacLeod

Level of the Game:

Students must be able to say sentences in the past tense.
Objective of the Game:
This game can be used to review, preview or support the learning objective of the
past tense.
Materials Needed:
A piece of paper and a pen for each student to keep their scores.
Procedure:
1. Students are sitting in groups of no less than 4 students and no more than 6
students.
2. Everyone says a sentence about him/herself in the past tense. You can say
ANYTHING, e.g. I had a hamburger for lunch, I played the saxophone
yesterday, I had two eggs for breakfast, etc. the only requirement is that it
should be something which nobody else knows (either way) so if a student
has a good friend in the class, he or she may have to think about it for a
moment.
3. Then each student says his/her sentence in turn.
4. After each student has said his/her sentence, you ask for a show of hands
from whoever thought the sentence was true, then ask the student if it was
actually true or false- whoever guessed correctly gets a point (everybody must
keep their own score).
5. At the end of the game everyone calls out their score in turn.
6. The highest score/s win/s.
