Deception
This fun guessing game teaches students how to use the present perfect to talk about
experiences.
Before class, make one copy of the worksheet for each student.
Procedure
Hand out a copy of the worksheet to each student.
Tell the students to write down twelve present perfect sentences about things that they
'have' and 'haven't done' in their lives using the verbs in the box.
Explain to the students that some of the sentences should be true and some should be false.
The students should also try to write sentences that are hard to guess.
When all the students have finished, ask them to cut out their true and false cards.
Next, split the class into small teams. Each team plays against another team. The teams
playing against each other must have the same number of team members.
Give one piece of paper to every team to keep score.
The two teams sit opposite each other. They decide which student will go first. This student
reads one of his or her sentences.
The opposing team's players each put down a true or false card depending on whether they
think the statement is true or not.
The student then reveals the answer. The opposing team gets one point for each correct
answer.
Then, one student on the other team says one of their sentences, and so on.
This continues back and forth with one team giving a sentence and the other team guessing
whether it is true or false, until all the sentences have been used.
The winning team is the one with the most points at the end.
