This document provides examples of classroom activities to practice the use of object pronouns in English. It describes two games - an auction game and a noughts and crosses game. In the auction game, students are divided into groups and given fake money to "bid" on sentences containing object pronouns, trying to buy correct sentences while tricking other groups into incorrect ones. In the noughts and crosses game, object pronouns are written on a grid and students take turns choosing one to use correctly in a sentence, marking the grid with their symbol if right. The goal is to get three in a row, practicing pronoun usage in a competitive game format.
