Description
Guess who is on your partner's card with this two-person speaking game featuring real animal photos! Your ESL students will have fun asking and answering yes-no questions about animals while using the present simple and the modal verb "can" for ability with this interactive game. This game reviews a range of vocabulary. Your students practice using adjectives (ex. big, short, green), nouns (ex. tail, wings, insect, mammal), and verbs (fly, run, swim). They'll review grammar as well, including question formation in the present simple with and without the modal verb "can" for ability. My English learners usually have trouble with question word order, so I've supported them by adding the following sentence starters on each game board: "Is it...?"; "Can it...?"; and "Does it have...?". This deck includes approximately 60 animal cards. There are also ten different game boards to simulate the experience of shuffling the cards. Each game board contains a deck of 20 cards to choose from and a separate grid of 20 cards which players can "turn over" by clicking on the images. I've also included a short drag-and-drop activity that reviews the following words: fur, horns, scales, stripes, shell, spots, and wings. Each child sets up the game board on their own device to keep their chosen image a secret, creating a natural information gap that fosters authentic communication in English. My students have a lot of fun with this game, and I hope yours will too!
