How to play this game:
Each pupil chooses their preferred options but keeps this as a secret. One pupil starts to read the text and tries to guess what his/her partner has chosen at each point. If correct partner nods head and first pupil carries on. If incorrect partner says incorrect and first pupil’s turn is over. Second pupil now starts at the beginning, trying to guess first pupil’s choices - when he/she makes a mistake play passes back to the first pupil. Winner is the first one to read the text all the way through using partner’s choices.
In can be played in pairs or small groups and also against the teacher to guess the teacher’s answers.
The resource includes two slides per topic. One where all the grids contain an answer and another one with some blank rows that can be used with more able students to encourage them to create their own answers.
