Advice Dominoes
In this engaging activity, students play a game of dominoes to review the language of giving
advice.
Before class, make one copy of the cards for each group of 3 students and cut as indicated.
Procedure
Divide the students into small groups of 3.
Give each group a set of shuffled cards, and ask the students to place the cards face down
in a pile on the desk.
Tell each group to turn over the top card and place it face up on the desk.
Students then take turns to pick one card from the top of the pile.
If they can, they must place their card at either end of the first card to make a correct
sentence.
If they can’t, they keep the card in their hand.
The other students judge if the sentence is correct, but they can also ask you if they are
unsure.
Students continue to take turns to link the cards, either using the one in their hand or taking
a new one from the pile.
When all the cards have been taken, students take turns to try to put a card down from their
hand.
The first student to get rid of all their cards is the winner.
The correct answers appear on the uncut worksheet.
