8 Process Dominoes

The activity aims to have students describe actions and processes. It also makes it possible for teachers to
encourage students to cooperate with one another.

Materials and Preparation
Two sets of dominoes on pages 178 and 179
As a preparation, the teacher photocopies and cuts out the dominoes. Either student of each pair will
have half of the dominoes on one page.

Procedure
1 Put students into pairs. Give one set of jumbled dominoes to each pair randomly and ask them to
share the dominoes out equally.
2 Tell students the rules of the game. One of the students places a domino on the desktop and the
other one has to make a complete sentence by placing one of the dominoes she/he is holding at
either end of the one on the desktop. Students take it in turns to place their dominoes at either
end of the domino chain. Remind students that they should observe the triple dots and periods.
Triple dots mean that students can place a domino at that end.
3 Monitor and guide the students while they are carrying out the task. Help them with vocabulary
and meaning if necessary. In case of a disagreement on a sentence, the teacher is to make the final
decision. The student whose sentence is incorrect has to take back the domino and misses a turn.
Likewise, the student who fails to make a sentence misses the turn as well.
4 The game continues till one student uses up all her/his dominoes, or neither student can make a
correct sentence. The student to finish first or have fewer dominoes left is the winner.
