This is a trapdoor activity to get your students to practise their speaking and or memory skills, it is played in pairs. Each person chooses an option for each sentence in their head. One starts reading the text and tries to find out the other’s choices. Each time they make a choice, the partner nods or shakes his/her head. If the choice is correct the person continues until they get it wrong. When they get it wrong, the other person has a go. The aim of the game is to finish first. Every time they go wrong they have to go all the way back to the beginning again. I did this with my Yr10 and Year 11 classes and they loved it!
This is suitable for Y8 high ability or a Y 9 class who are covering the topic of leisure/free time. It is designed to help prepare them for the new GCSE Specification and to improve their translation skills English to Spanish.
