Country and nationality make me say Yes personalised questions games
Choose a country or nationality word from below and ask your partner a personal Yes/ No question about it like “Have you ever been to Canada?” or “Do you like Vietnamese food?” You will get one point if your partner (honestly) answers “Yes…” You get no points for “No…” and “I don’t know” answers. Take turns asking such questions for points until your teacher stops the game, using a different kind of question each time (not “Do you like…?” every time or “Have you ever…?” in every question).
