| Aim | To practise the present perfect tense |
| Activity | Students play a game, making TRUE or FALSE answers to "Have you ever...?" questions |
| Organisation | Group work and whole class |
| Preparation | Make enough copies of the activity for the number of students in your class |
| What do I do? | 1 Divide students into two teams and hand out the activity. 2 Students write their answers to the questions individually. 3 In their teams, students think of one false but believable answer for each question. This false answer replaces one of the real answers. 4 Team A asks the first question to team B. Each student in team B gives their answer. 5 Team A tries to guess which student is lying! If they are correct they get one point. If they are incorrect team B gets a point. 6 Now it's team B's turn to ask the first question to team A. 7 Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until all the questions have been asked. The team with the most points is the winner |
