Read the text and answer the questions.

Do you watch the Simpsons on TV and dream of living in their house? Well now you can because there
is a real Simpsons’ house in America.
Everything in the yellow house is the same as you see it on TV; even the colors! There is the garage with
Homer’s car parked outside and next to it the path that leads to the orange front door. When you go into
the house, the first room you see is the living room. In this room, you can sit on the same orange couch
that Homer sits on and watches TV. Behind the living room is the kitchen with a table, chairs, cabinets, and
a big yellow fridge.
As you go upstairs, there are pictures of the whole family, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, on the
walls. Don’t forget to take a look at Bart’s messy bedroom! Look out the window and you can see Bart and
Lisa’s tree house in the garden below. It’s just like living in a cartoon!

Collect different pictures of rooms such as a kitchen, a bedroom, a living room, etc. Put students
into two teams. Students shuffle the pictures. A student from Team A picks a picture and pretends
that he/she is in that room. The students in team B ask questions to guess which room he/she is in.
If Team B guesses correctly, it wins a point and is the next one to choose a picture. If not, Team A
gets the point and picks another picture. Each team can ask up to three questions per picture.

Ronaldinho is a very famous athlete. He comes
from Brazil and plays soccer for Milan. His name

because he plays very well and scores lots of goals.
Ronaldinho has long, curly hair. He has big teeth
and people sometimes say that he isn’t handsome.

it is not important as he is a soccer player, not a
model. He always trains with his team and is slim
and strong.
Ronaldinho is easygoing and often meets his fans.
He talks to them and they take photographs of
him. In his free-time, he likes being with his family
and especially with his son. He listens to music,
goes to concerts, and sometimes plays the drums
with his close friends. When he is bored, he plays
video games.
Ronaldinho gets a lot of money from his job. He
enjoys spending time with his friends and family.
He loves his life and wants to play
soccer for many more years.

You need a dice and some counters. Take turns rolling the dice and then move your counter the
same number of squares the dice shows. Complete the sentence, adverb of frequency, adjective,
or draw the time. If you do it correctly, you win the number of points in the key. If you don’t do
it correctly, you lose your turn and one point. The player who reaches the finish point with the
highest score wins.
