Procedure
Probability Phrases:
Tell the students that they are going to practice asking questions using the first conditional
and answering questions using phrases of probability.
Divide the class into groups of three and give each group a set of cards.
Tell the students to shuffle the cards and place them face down in a pile.
Students take it in turns to pick up a card and ask the person on their left a first conditional
question using the clause on the card.
If a student picks up a card with If..., they make their own question using the first conditional.
The other student then answers the question using a phrase of probability from the board.
The winner is the student with the highest score at the end of the game.
