12 Game of Questions
This activity aims at using the correct future form to make plans and predictions by asking and answering questions.
It also helps students to improve their listening and speaking skills.
Materials and Preparation
Make copies of the game on page 26 for each group and cut out the worksheet. Then put the shuffled cards on the
table.
Procedure
1 Write a random future time expression on the board such as this summer, in 2050, etc, and ask your students to
make some meaningful questions with future tenses using the written time expressions. (What are you going to do
this summer?/Will there be flying cars in 2050?, etc.)
2 Divide your students into two teams and ask for any volunteers from both groups to start the game by picking a time
expression card.
3 Set a time limit, e.g. 30 seconds for each player to prepare one single question about a certain time expression that
they pick.
4 Student A asks his/her question, and the other player answers. Then Student B asks, and Student A answers.
5 Have students take turns and continue the game. The ones who ask and answer correctly get 2 points.
6 The group with the highest point wins the game.
