Verbs and other Words - Board Game
This board game helps students practice the present simple (regular verbs and verb to
be + from) as well as prepositions of place by matching verbs with other words and
expressions.

Make one copy of the game board and cards for each group of three to four students.
Cut the cards out as indicated. Provide dice and counters for each group.

Procedure

Write the following on the board in three columns:

I’m in Bangkok
I go from an office
I work to school
I live

Ask the students to make as many sentences as they can.

Examples:
I’m from Bangkok.
I live in Bangkok.
I go to school in Bangkok.
I work in an office in Bangkok.

Tell the students that they are going to play a game where they match verbs and other
words in this way.

Ask the students to work in groups of three or four. Give one game board and one set of
cards, counters and dice to each group.

Before the students start playing the game, demonstrate how to play using the
instructions written on the board game.

Now the students are ready to play the game. While they are playing, go round to each
group and check they are playing correctly.

If appropriate, players can use two of their cards to make a longer sentence, e.g. They
work in an office in New York. If the group thinks it is correct, the player puts their card(s)
to the bottom of the pile on the table and it is the next player’s turn to play.

If the sentence is not correct, the player may not put their card to the bottom of the pile,
but must keep it. If a player hasn’t got a word card that goes with the verb, they pick up a
card from the top of the pile and match it with the verb if possible.
