Have/ Have got with prepositions of positions guessing games

Ask your partner a “Do you have…?”/ “Have you got…?” question. If the answer is “Yes, I do”/ “Yes, I have” you will get a point, but if the answer is “No, I don’t”/ “No, I haven’t” you get no points.

OR

Try to make true sentences about what your partner has (got). You get one point if they say “That’s true” but no points if they say “That’s not true”.

Do the same, but this time asking or talking about what your partner has (got) in particular places like “in your pocket” and “on your balcony”.

Share one thing you learnt about your partner, and see if it is true for anyone else in the class too.

Do the same thing, but this time talking about the places which are written on the next page.

Share one thing you learnt about your partner, and see if it is true for anyone else in the class too.

Ask about anything below you don’t understand, working together to make suitable questions or statements each time.

What are the differences between these prepositions?

  • on/ above
  • in front of/ opposite
  • next to/ near

Play the same asking questions or making true statements game, but this time making your own sentences from the cut-up cards below.

Play the same game, but this time just with your own ideas without any worksheets or cards to help.

Choose a place. Your partner will ask questions or make statements about things in that place until they find out at least one thing that you have (got) there.

Choose one thing that you have and tell your partner “I have…” without saying where it is. They will ask questions or make statements until they find out where you have that thing.
