Preparations for the activity:

01. Cut the cards along the edges and glue them on colored papers. (As shown in end result in the first page).

02. Laminate the cards for long lasting and safe keeping.

03. Pre teach students the grammar point (Some + Any): Get their attention to the plural form associated with any.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

During the activity:.

This game is played with the grammar structure:

Q:- Do you have any ………………….s?

Yes, I have some …………………..s.

No, I don’t have any …………………….s.

01. Practice the previous question and answers with students using their stuff (pencil, green pen, yellow

paper..etc.)

02. Write a model question and answers on the board. (You may highlight the plural s)

03. Get your students to set in a circle.

04. Select number of cards to play with. (44 are a bit too much, uncles you have a huge class)

05. Go over the vocabulary in the cards by showing them the card saying the name of the picture and then

passing it to the student next to you. They have to do the same.

06. Shuffle the cards in your hand then separate the cards into colors.

07. Tell your students that one color goes from right to left and the other in the opposite direction. (Do a

rehearsal).

08. When you say stop, each student must keep his/ her card. (No throwing, no pushing – though they will!)

09. Each students look at their cards. They should not show their cards. Students with words must ask, the one

with picture answers. (You know which one by color, so you can moderate)

10. Start with one student; let him/her choose another student with the different color to ask (Do you have any

……………s – finish the question according to the card).

11. If the answer was (Yes, I have some …………s. – a matching picture) then the student with the picture card

loses and leaves the circle. If the answer was (No, I don’t have any …………..s) the student who asked loses and

leaves the circle.

12. Students are expected to get excited and start throwing cards, skip friends or even hide their cards during the

ask and answer time. You have to pay attention.
