Basic Adjectives- Make Me Say ‘Yes’

Basic adjectives make me say yes

Take an adjective card and try to use that word to make a question that your partner says “Yes” to, for example “Are you happy?” or “Is your bicycle red?”. If they say “Yes”, you can keep the card and score one point. If they say “No” or “I don’t know”, you score no point but can try again later with the same card.

Do the same, but with one point for a “No” answer.

Do the same, but flipping a coin to see if you should try to get a “Yes” answer (heads) or try to get a “No” answer (tails)

Do the same, aiming a ball at “Yes” and “No” on the board to see which of those two answers you want your partner to give.

Take one of the noun cards and ask a question with an adjective and that noun like “Is your mother’s hair long?” for the “hair” card or “Is your bicycle red?” for the “bicycle” card. You can also use adjectives like “clean”, “dirty”, “cheap”, “expensive”, “angry” and “thin” which are not on the cards in the last game. Your teacher will tell you if you should try to get a “Yes” answer, if you should try to get a “No” answer, or how you will decide which answer to try to get.
