Guess My Job Game

Cut out and give out the job cards on the hand out, tell students to keep them
secret from the rest of the class.

Students have to imagine that they are the person on their card; they have been
invited to the class to share their experiences with the other students and give
advice using participle clauses.

Example: Explorer, Having travelled all over the world, I can say that there is
no place like home. Having learnt six different languages, I thoroughly
recommend it because it has broadened my mind immensely.
Give students a couple of minutes to think of their sentences, they then read
them to the rest of the class who have to guess what job card they were given.

"Having robbed a lot of banks, I have loads of money" "Are you a bank
robber?" "Yes, I am!"
