Before you play

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Use Do and Does to ask questions, do not / does not for negatives, and short answers Yes, I do. / No, she does not. (indicator ต 1.2 ป.3/1).

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options - ___ she play the piano? Answer: Does - I ___ not eat meat. Answer: do - He ___ not like fish. Answer: does - Yes, I ___. Answer: do; No, she ___ not. Answer: does

How to use it in class

Play solo for about 5 minutes after teaching Do/Does questions. Q5 and Q6 show no question, so say one aloud first (Do you like milk?) before children choose. - Afterwards, pairs ask and answer Do you ...? / Does your friend ...? with short answers - Play it linked to your class so scores go into the gradebook

Common sticking points

- Yes, I ___. (Q5): choosing am, which sounds more familiar; with no question shown, it is grammatical - No, she ___ not. (Q6): choosing is, for the same reason - I ___ not eat meat. (Q3): choosing am, believing I always goes with am
