 2 Grammar Review
Aims: To review and practise grammar from the unit. This
can be completed when students have finished the unit.
Time: 15–20 minutes
Materials: 1 set of Team A cards cut up for one team of
ten students. 1 set of Team B cards cut up for one team
of ten students. For additional students, divide into A/B
teams and make sure they have corresponding cards.
• Divide students into A/B teams. Give each student
in Team A one card from the Team A set. Give each
student in Team B one card from the Team B set.
• Students read the sentence half on their card and
then try to find the person on the other team with the
matching sentence half.
• Tell students to read their sentence halves very
carefully as many of them are very similar, but there is
only one true match for each sentence.
• Set a time limit of ten minutes for students to go
around the classroom and find their partner with the
matching sentence half. Once students think they have
found their partner, tell them to sit down together.
When two thirds of the class is sitting down, get pairs
of students to read out their sentences and ask the rest
of the class to listen and check if they have correctly
identified the matching sentences.
