Student’s Book page 35 5 Play the game. •
The aim of this game is to be the first one to reach
the top left-hand square on the grid (the tent marked
Welcome to the Talent Show ). Students play in pairs with
a coin and buttons or game pieces.
•
Students place their button or game piece on the bottom
left-hand square (marked
Start here ). They then take
turns flipping the coin and move their game piece
around the board (following the numbers). If they flip
the heads side of the coin, they move two spaces. If
they flip the tails side of the coin they move one space.
When they land on a blue game square, they list as
many words as they can in the category shown. When
they land on a yellow game square, they complete the
sentence given to make it true for them. When they
land on a green game square, they reorder the words
to make a question, and then answer it themselves. If
students think of the specified number of words, make
the question or complete the sentence correctly, they stay
on the square they’ve landed on. If they make a mistake
they move back one square.
•
When they land on a gray thunderstorm square or a
white flashlight square, they follow the instruction.
•
Students can play the game more than once. They can
also replace some of the questions to order or fill-in-the
blank sentences with their own ideas.
