Here are two board games that can be used in small classes or you can use them for projection on the board. If you project them on the board, you can use a board marker to draw crosses (X) or noughts (0) and you can divide the class in two teams. If you print the boards you can use crosses (X) or noughts (0) made of cardboard, so you can reuse them. Have fun!

Board game - What is the question

One more part of the task that helps me challenge my students to ask questions. The task is to find out some information about the person. The problem is that students are not given a question form structure. They need to read, understand and make up a nice question on their own.

you can donate a little bit and get the whole pack of questions here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jullschool/e/103950
27 pages of questions waiting for you.

Ask me a question activity part 5 (teaching students how to build a question)

In this set of conversation game cards, the questions are directed to the student. It gets the student to talk about themselves and their country. It also ask them questions about Australia. Some may have been to Australia but some may haven't. It gives the students an opportunity to explore about Australia and do some research. You can also use these cards as a quiz on your students.

Sorry, another mistake (this time it should be right)! Board Game that not only introduces students to words and the world of soccer/football, but also practises asking questions, spelling numbers, dates, and even touches on topics like geography, history culture, etc. Even my female students enjoyed this game a lot.
