to ones your students might be more likely
to encounter.
Explain that students are going to play a board game to revise the
expressions they have practised in the Everyday English sections
of Units 16.
Divide students into groups of three or four. Give each group
a copy of the board game. Students will also need a different
coloured counter each, and a coin to flip. Teach: Its your turn / its
my turn, counter, flip a coin, heads, tails.
Ask students to read the instructions in HOW TO PLAY. Check
they understand the rules. Students place their counters on the
START square and take turns to flip the coin. Students move
round the board and complete the speaking tasks on the squares.
If the square says: Ask , then they should ask another student
who then needs to respond. Remind students to be polite. If they
land on a question mark, they can ask any question they like.
As students play, monitor and make a note of any common errors
to feed back on later. The first player to reach the FINISH square is
the winner.

Extension (15 minutes)

Ask students to work in pairs to write the key expression needed
for each square on the board. Monitor and check that their
expressions are correct. Tell students to keep these expressions for
future reference.
