Present Perfect Continuous guessing game

Reasons with Present Perfect Continuous guessing games

with language for describing people/ body vocabulary/ feelings vocabulary

Complete at least eight of the sentences below with your own ideas:

Read out the part of one sentence from “because…”, and see if your partner can guess which sentence it comes from. Then take turns doing the same.

When your teacher stops you, ask about any sentence stems you weren’t sure how to complete, completing them with your own ideas if you can (but not saying how you have done so).

Change partner. Tell them only the start of one of the sentences, e.g. “I feel lonely” and give them hints until they guess what you have written there, then take turns doing the same.

Make up your own sentence starters and endings and play the same game with them.
