The Game of English Questions and Answers:
Goal:
Some students have difficulty in formulating relevant questions QUICKLY in class. The goal of this game is to make it EASIER, FASTER and more ENJOYABLE for students to formulate their questions in a class setting.
The class focuses on using a TENSE usage (simple, continuous, perfect, or perfect continuous) and the students focus on a customized VOCABULARY set (WORD cards or list of the words they want to learn)
The game BOARD guides the students thru various COMMON TYPES AND FORMS OF QUESTIONS. The game setting provides an enjoyable interactive learning environment.
The questions types and forms are determined by the square you land on.
They can be WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHO, WHY, HOW types using CAN/COULD, WILL/WOULD, SHALL/SHOULD, NEED/ MUST, MAY/MIGHT, or BE/DO/HAVE forms asked in a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE way.
The question must include the word on the WORD card which is picked up at each move.
If the question is formulated correctly, the students gets to keep the WORD card. The player who collects most WORD cards at the end of the game wins the game.
Instructions:
Chose a TENSE to focus on.
Chose a VOCABULARY SET (a collection of words that students in the class had trouble with).
The student picks a WORD card and throws the dice. EVEN / ODD threw of dice determines if the question is POSITIVE, or NEGATIVE. The students lands on a square and has to formulate an appropriate question with the word he picked.
The other students answer as they wish in a complete sentence.
Example:
Focus of TENSE is PAST CONTINUOUS
Student throws a 2 (POSITIVE QUESTION), picks WORD card “BEAR”, and lands on square 34 (WHO/SHALL/SHOULD).
Possible correct questions are:
The BEARs were not fed yesterday. Can you tell me WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN feeding the BEARS? or
The man who bore the heaviest load yesterday had a sore back. Can you tell me WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEARING the heaviest load yesterday?
Possible correct answers are:
Yes, I can tell you who. You should have been feeding them! or
No I can't / won't tell you who should have been feeding them. or
No I don't know who should have been feeding them.

Present: today, now, at the moment, this year, etc...
Future: tomorrow, when I am old, in a long time, next year, etc...

COULD/WOULD/SHOULD/.. ..doing/having/being/making.. ...TODAY??? Example: Do you know who could be cooking at such a late hour now? or Do you know who he could be cooking for tonight?
If stuck, use a tag question. Positive statement with a negative tag question (ie. He is/does/will/can! ...... isn't/doesn't/won't/can't he?) or Negative statement with a positive tag question (ei. You are not/don't/won't/can't! .... are/do/will/can you?) Example: He will go today, won't he?, Won't he go today? Example: He couldn't be cooking now, could he! could he be cooking now? or He could be lost now, couldn't he! Couldn't he be lost?
