�20 QUESTIONS (AND MORE)��
By. RUBY ASTARI
Your students are very smart that your lesson plans finish quickly before it�s time? What can you do to fill that one last day before Revision / Final Test?
Maybe you can try playing �20 Questions (and More)�� How? Actually, this isn�t 100% original. Inspired a little by the already popular �Snakes and Ladders�, this game is suitable for reviewing all lessons before the tests. This is how we play it:
1. Prepare all the necessary tools, like:
- A (big) dice.
- Small, plastic and colourful bowling pins (according to how many students are in your classroom.)
- Cue cards (according to the lessons and labeled in numbers.)
2. This game is suitable for 2 � 4 groups. But if your students are less than ten people, they can still compete against each other individually.
3. With board marker, teacher writes �start�, the numbers (from 1 to 20, or more if necessary), and then �finish� on each floor tile. All the pins must be put on �start�.
4. Students throw the dice. For example, if the number shows �3�, they must put their pin on the exact floor-tile. Then they must answer a question from the exact cue cards from the teacher. If their answer is correct, they can move their pin one step forward and get a score for their team/themselves.
5. If they can�t answer the question, their pin must stay on the same spot. They get no scores.
6. And if their answer is wrong, their pin has to move one step backward. They get no scores.
7. The first group/player who gets to the finish line gets extra five/ten scores and simply wins the game.
This game is suitable for oral tests and TE lessons too. You�re welcome
