8 Lovely Weekend

This activity aims to have students make preferences, and invite, refuse, or accept an invitation.
Materials and Preparation
Copy and cut up the materials on pages 66-67 and make sure that each group has one pair.

Procedure
1 Divide class into groups of four.
2 Copy one set of role cards and situation cards for each group.
3 Tell students to sit around a table, and put the situation cards face down in the middle of it. The
cards should be in order from 1 to 6.
4 Ask each player to have a role card; A, B, C, or D.
5 Tell students that it is a lovely weekend and they are sitting at home feeling bored.
6 Have them turn up the situation cards one by one and make/accept/refuse invitations based on the
list of preferences on their role cards.
7 Tell them to continue the game until they agree on an activity for each situation card.

9 Quick Decline

This activity aims to have students make invitations, and refuse or accept an invitation.
Materials and Preparation
Copy and cut up the material on page 68 and make sure that each group has one.

Procedure
1 Divide students into four groups. Give each group one set of cards you have copied and cut up.
2 Tell them to shuffle the cards and place them face down in a pile on the table. One of the students
in the group should pick up a card and invite the student on his/her right to do the activity in a very
quick way. (e.g. “Would you like to do origami after school?”) The student on his/her right should try
to win the card by declining the invitation and giving an excuse in a very quick way. (e.g. “I’m sorry,
but I have to go fishing with my dad.”)
3 The students are not allowed to use the same excuse twice, or pause for a while to ask or answer. If
one cannot do it properly, the invitation passes to the next student on the right.
4 Continue the game until all the cards have been used. The student with the most cards at the end
of the game wins.
