Don’t say Yes or No…Game

Students must avoid saying the words “YES” or “NO”


This is done by using expressions like: “I do”, “I am”, “that’s true”, “that isn’t true”,
“that’s not correct”, “exactly”, “precisely”, “that’s right”, “that’s correct”, “I think
so”,“probably”, “possibly”, “usually”. Maybe;
The questioners can try to trap them through deliberate misunderstanding and
echo questions: “Did you say usually? So you said you live in Stuttgart? Perhaps?
