 13 Make and do
Activity
Groupwork. Sentence completion.
Focus
make and do.
Preparation
Photocopy one worksheet for each group of four to six
students.
Procedure
• Distribute one worksheet to each group. Students in a
group are competing against the other members of their
group to make the most correct sentences.
• Students take it in turns to look at the worksheet and try to
make a correct sentence. They can choose any numbered
sentence and use one of the make/do words from the
bottom of the page to complete it. When they think they
have a good sentence they should read it out aloud. The
other students must now agree if they think it is a good
sentence. If the majority agree, the student writes their
make/do word in the gap, together with their initials. That
question is not used again in the game. If the group thinks
the sentence is not correct, the student ends their turn
and doesn’t get a point. The question can be answered in
another turn.
• At the end, go through the sentences and check if the
groups agreed correct answers or not.
