 1 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: One handout, one dice and counters for each
group of three or four students
• Divide students into groups of three or four and give
them a copy of the board game, a dice and counters. Tell
them to place their counters on the START square. The
first student throws the dice, moves their counter and
does the task on the square. If they can’t do the task, or
they make a mistake, they go back three squares. The
winner is the first person to the FINISH square, or the
person on the highest number when you stop the game.
• Ensure that students give full sentence answers for
questions 3, 8, 11, 16 and 18.
