My Way
My Way
In this fun and interactive ESL activity, students guess how their classmates perform everyday activities using adverbs of manner.
🔹 Preparation
📄 Materials Needed:
- One worksheet per student
- A whiteboard or flipchart for brainstorming
- Paper & pen for keeping score
🔹 How to Play
🎯 Step 1: Brainstorming
- Before beginning, ask students to brainstorm adverbs of manner (e.g., quickly, carefully, loudly, fluently).
- Alternatively, divide the class into groups and do a board race to generate at least 30 adverbs.
✏️ Step 2: Completing the Worksheet
- Give each student a copy of the worksheet.
- Students choose 20 sentences and complete them with true adverbs of manner.
- Each sentence should use a different adverb, and students keep their sentences secret.
🎤 Step 3: Teacher Demonstration
- Ask students to guess how you do certain activities.
- Example:
- Teacher: “It’s something I do fluently.”
- Student: “Do you speak English fluently?”
- Teacher: “Correct!”
👥 Step 4: Student Pair Work
- Divide students into pairs.
- Students take turns guessing how their partner does different activities from their worksheet.
- They ask questions in the same format as the teacher’s demonstration.
📊 Step 5: Scoring System
- Students get 5 guesses per activity.
- Points System:
- 1st guess: 5 points
- 2nd guess: 4 points
- 3rd guess: 3 points
- 4th guess: 2 points
- 5th guess: 1 point
- If a student fails to guess, their partner gets 5 points.
- The student with the highest score wins! 🎉
