Suggestion for Club Activity

This is a good game for practicing word order in sentences and/or reviewing a theme and can be adapted to many grammar points/themes.

  • Write a number of sentences on a particular theme or grammar point. Then write each word from each sentence on a separate piece of card. The members of the club could make these themselves but they must be checked for accuracy.
    (See sample sentences below: Theme - transport/ Grammar point - adverbs of frequency)
  • Give each member in the club a word. The members must mingle with other members checking words until a few people can make a sentence with their individual words. When finished, hold up the cards in the correct order.
    Alternatively if you have access to a photocopier the sentences could be written or typed, photocopied and cut up for groups of students to make into sentences. If these were made on different coloured card they would be easy to keep in separate sets and used again.
The cut up words could also be distributed around the room, verbs on one table, adverbs on another, etc. and teams of students race one by one to collect words to make a sentence. The first team to make a correct sentence is the winner.

Example Sentences
1. Do you often travel by plane?
2. I have never flown in a helicopter.
3. He sometimes travels by becak.
4. My mother always goes on foot to the market.
5. My older brother never goes to his office on the bus.

6. I usually go to work by train.
7. My younger sister sometimes goes to school on her bicycle.
8. He rarely goes to Bandung by train.
9. In Kuta the tourists always take a taxi to the hotel.
10. She has often sailed on a boat to Sumbawa.
