First Conditional Card Game

This document provides instructions for an activity where students play a card game to practice forming first conditional sentences. The activity involves students being divided into groups, with each group receiving sets of "If" and "Result" picture cards. Students take turns drawing an "If" card and having their groupmates try to form a conditional sentence by matching it with a suitable "Result" card. The first student in each group to match all of their cards wins. After playing, the groups write down the conditional sentences they made, which are then shared with the whole class. The goal of the activity is to help students practice constructing first conditional sentences through a matching and speaking exercise.

the sentences correct any mistakes they hear and give feedback.
