UPDATE 2022: I added worksheets and made a few changes to the present progressive version. Notes at the bottom.
I originally had all these Race and Speak games posted together but it was getting a bit much.
HOW I USE THEM
Put the students into groups after doing the demonstration and have them pick their order. Groups can be done as rows or 4 person lunch groups. Whatever works.
Show the student the question and in their group they think of the answer and then send one student to a teacher with the answer. If it is correct they pick one of the characters on the screen and get points. Points generally range from 1 to 4 and -3.
After each team has gotten points or a time limit is reached you reveal the answer. Practice it as a class and move onto the next question. A new group member should come with an answer.
I generally do these games with a tablet connected to the projector. This way both teachers check answers and help students and the kids can tap the screen and manage the points on the board themselves.
NOTES:
For this one you to move through the slides you click the question number to see the question, the question to see the answer and then the answer to get the next screen arrow.
The 'Present Progressive' version has pictures that serve as hints for the answer. You click on the question to have the answer sentence appear below it. If you click on the answer it goes to the next screen. The worksheet has space for students to write their answers. I always make it clear that is optional. They should come and speak the answer first and then write while waiting for other teams to finish if they have time. If I student writes first to read their answer I take the paper away until they speak. The activity is meant to move fast and there is a chance for writing after it is done.
The second part demonstrates writing answers to questions involving present progressive and simple present. I find it good to remind students of the difference after studying this language point.
Used this for the first time recently and it went down such a treat! Have been adapting it since for different grammar points, thanks so much for sharing!
My pleasure. I'm glad it was useful. I'm about to pull this one out next week as well. I made an adjusted version for present progressive along with worksheets.
