Glug
Age/Level: Elementary and above Time: 20 minutes Players: Individual or small teams

Preparation: Slips of paper

Aim: To review tenses

Here is a fun grammar game to help review tenses.

Before you play, you will need some slips of paper and a pen.

Procedure

Students can play this game in small groups or individually.

Ask one student to stand up and think of a verb, e.g. sleep.

Once the student has chosen a verb, ask them to write it down on a slip of paper.

The other students have to guess the verb by asking questions in different tenses to the
student.

They do this by replacing the verb the student has chosen with the invented verb 'glug'.

Example: Sleep

S2: Have you ever glugged? S1: Yes, I have.

S3: Do you glug every day? S1: Yes, I do.

S4: Can you glug in class? S1: No, you can’t. You're not allowed.

S5: Are you glugging now? S1: No, I ’m not.

S6: Is it difficult to glug? S1: No, it isn't.

The students can ask up to 15 questions to try to guess the verb.

The student who guesses the correct verb wins a point and then becomes the next student
to choose a verb.
