Deal cards out between you and do the activity or activity from here that your teacher tells you to:
- Make general statements about people, companies, politicians etc in your country using one of your cards. If the other people agree that your statement is true, you can discard that card.
- Try to make true statements about your partner’s routines using the words on your cards in order to be able to discard them.
- Ask “How often…?” questions about your partner, and discard any cards that have words that they use in their answers.
- Answer “How often…?” questions with words on your cards, and see if your partner can guess if you were lying or not. If they falsely accuse you of lying, they have to take that card and add it to their pack.
The person with fewest cards at the end of the game is the winner.
