Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Sort adjectives for people vs things, frequency words (always, often) vs exact time words (yesterday, last week), and past statements vs past negatives (indicator ต 1.1 ป.4/2).

What's in the worksheet

4 questions, sorting into 2 groups - kind, clever describe people; heavy, expensive describe things - always, often say how often; yesterday, last week say exactly when - Maths, Science use numbers; English, Thai use language - I went there. is a statement; I did not go there. is negative

How to use it in class

An end-of-year P4 game, about 5 minutes, in teams. For Q4, teams notice went becomes go and saw becomes see in the negatives. - For Q2, each child says one sentence with always and one with yesterday - In Q3, if children argue that science uses a lot of language too, agree it is a rough split - Play it linked to your class so scores go into the gradebook

Common sticking points

- Science (Q3): hesitation because science is not only numbers; the split is debatable - often (Q2) is unfamiliar and may land with exact times - She did not see it. (Q4): some think it is present because see is not past. Point to did
