‘WHAT DO YOU KNOW?’ BOARD GAME Comparatives

Aim

Grammar practice (Comparative Adjectives); Speaking practice

Level Beginner to Elementary (CEFR Level A1 to A2)

ACTIVITY NOTES

Number of Players = three

Approximate time = twenty to twenty-five minutes

Provided Materials: One game board per group of three players; one set of 27 (cut-up) question cards – placed face-down on a desk

Additional materials required = one die per group of three players; one board piece per player (plastic bottle caps or coins work well)

Playing the Game

Players place their board pieces on the ‘Start’ square. The game begins with ‘Player A’ picking up a card from the pile and asking the question to ‘Player B’. ‘Player B’ tries to answer the question using a complete, grammatically correct sentence (such as the ones provided on the bottom of each card). If ‘Player B’ is unable to do so, then he / she is not allowed to roll the die to move forward. The game then continues with different players taking turns asking and answering questions. Note that a player may move forward additional squares – or move backwards – if he / she lands on certain squares.

Winning the Game A player may win the game by either one of two possible methods below:

1. A player wins the game by being the first to arrive at the ‘Finish’ square. 2. A player may also win when all the cards have been used and he / she is ahead of the

other players’ pieces.
