Set up
Split the students into groups of 2-4. You will need one dice and
one board per group and one counter per student.
How to play?
Place the counters next to square one. Each child takes it in turn
to role the dice. The highest role goes first. The order of play
continues in a clockwise direction. If a student lands at the foot
of a ladder or the head of a snake, he or she must make a
sentence using the key words at the top and bottom of the snake
or the ladder. If he or she makes a mistake then he or she should
miss a go. Remember players go up ladders and down snakes!!!
Target language
The aim of the game is to practice gerunds and in particular the
auxiliary verb when forming the present progressive. Have fun!!
