Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Practise sorting P6 structures: active versus passive sentences, time words for the past versus the present perfect, adjectives that add -er versus take more, and proper versus common nouns.

What's in the worksheet

4 sorting questions - Fah wrote the letter. versus The letter was written. - yesterday and two days ago go with the past; already and never with the present perfect - tall and fast add -er; beautiful and interesting take more - Bangkok and Monday are proper nouns; city and day are common nouns

How to use it in class

Use as a mid-term review game, 5-6 minutes in team mode, then have a team explain the passive item. - For item 1, ask who wrote the letter; if the sentence doesn't say who did it, it is probably passive - For item 4, have pupils look at the capital letters Play it linked to a class and the results go into the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Item 2: putting never with the past because I never went is familiar; give I have never been to Japan. - Item 1: calling The letter was written. active because was is a past verb; a letter cannot do anything by itself - Item 3: hesitating over fast, which they also know as an adverb
