Past Simple make me say yes personalised speaking game
Instructions
Take turns trying to make your partner say “Yes, … was/ were/ did” by asking past Yes/ No questions. You get one point for each “Yes” answer and half a point for “I don’t know”, but no point for “No” answers.
Share one thing you learnt about your partner and ask the same question to the class to see how many people say “Yes”.
Do the same, but using at least one word from the next page below in each question, crossing them off so that other people have to use different words.
Ask about any words you couldn’t use, working together as a class to make suitable questions each time.
Change partner and do the same with just “Was/ Were…?” questions (without the next page to help).
