I am a long time ESL teacher and KS2/KS3 tutor. I create professional handouts and activities which do not require any alteration, simply print and copy. I make my resources user-friendly, meaning they are easy for pupils to understand, effective at teaching the target skill and entertaining for pupils to use. Where colour is used, the worksheets generally can successfully be printed in black and white unless otherwise stated.

Game Play:
Prepare one game board per pupil.
Pre-teach any necessary vocabulary. Remind pupils that in yes/no questions, they do not need to change the verb form.
Player A decides who she/he is from the board, and keeps it secret.
Player B asks yes/no questions to guess who player A is.
To guess the name, pupils should be encouraged to use full question form - ‘Are you [name]?’ rather than simply saying the name (you know, extra practice and all!)
