PREPARATION:

• Print out the game. Cut out “fill in the gaps” cards and “paraphrase the sentence” cards, put them into 2 piles.

• Prepare a dice and counters.

• Prepare a piece of paper or a blackboard to put down the points scored by the students.

RULES:

• Students throw the dice and move according to the number shown by the dice. They score points in the game. The winner is not the person who reaches “finish” first, but the one who has more points (all the students should reach “finish”).

• How to score points:

- if a student stops at a question , he should complete the question (1 point) and answer it (1 point). So the maximal number of points - 2. If he completes the question correctly, but is not able to answer it, or if he makes a mistake in the question, but answers it, he gets 1 point. If he makes a mistake in the question, and can't answer it, he doesn't get points.

- if a student stops at a “fill in the gaps” square, he should take a card from the pile with “fill in the gaps” cards, and complete 2 sentences. If he manages to complete both sentences, he scores 2 points. 1 point for 1 correct sentence, 0 - if he fails.

- if a student stops at a “paraphrase the sentence” square, he should take a card from a pile with “paraphrase the sentence” cards, and replace the underlined words with an expression with do or make (the meaning of the sentence should remain the same). That's the most difficult task that “costs” 2 points.
