Update: Now moved to 34 Sentence Completion Games (TEFLtastic classics Part Two revisited)
I almost certainly didn’t make this game up, but I publically challenge anyone to prove that they’ve overexploited it as much as me!
The rules are incredibly simple: Students complete at least some of the sentence stems that their teacher gives them (e.g. “I would be happier if…” or “I always…”), then read out some examples of what they have written (but not the original sentence stem) so that the other students can guess which sentence stem they wrote that in. More confident classes can do the same game without the initial writing stage and/ or make up similar whole sentences for their partners to guess the start of without any help.
It’s fun and personalised, and uses a mix of skills. What more could you ask for?
Some of the many many possible uses available as ready-to-use worksheets via the link above.
Students love this game. I have used at least three of the worksheets above and I can confirm that they work. If you are considering using these, do not hesitate. They are great.
I’ve done something like this before, but these worksheets will definitely come in handy ! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Brad
As an English teacher, I enjoyed your ideas. I would be really happy to know your suggestions for games which are specifically designed for interaction and story telling.
Hi a
I’ll try and put some ideas together for you.
What age range and level?
Hey there – have just discovered your (voluminous) collection of materials and suffice to say it is my current TEFL obsession. Thanks for the good stuff! A (:
