Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Match adjectives with their opposites (fast and slow, easy and difficult), then review jobs and workplaces and basic question-answer pairs such as Where are you from? (indicator ต 1.1 ป.4/2).

What's in the worksheet

4 questions, matching 4 pairs each - fast to slow, old to new - long to short, easy to difficult - farmer to farm, cook to kitchen - Where are you from? to I am from Thailand.

For Q1 and Q2, teams act out the opposites, such as walking fast and then slowly. - Q2 pairs tall with low, which is wrong; tell children beforehand that the opposite of tall is short and low pairs with high - After Q4, children ask and answer the four questions for real - Play it linked to your class so scores go into the gradebook
