Sample questions

A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.

  1. Which one is a complete sentence?

    • แมวกินปลา (the cat eats fish)
    • แมวกิน... (the cat eats...)
    • ...กินปลา (...eats fish)
    Read the explanation

    A complete sentence needs both someone doing something and what they do.

  2. In the sentence หนูอ่านหนังสือ, who is doing the action?

    • หนังสือ (nang-seu - book)
    • หนู (noo - I, a child speaking)
    • อ่าน (aan - read)
    Read the explanation

    The doer is the subject, and it comes first in the sentence.

  3. In the sentence พ่อขับรถ, which word tells you the action?

    • รถ (rot - car)
    • พ่อ (por)
    • ขับ (khap - drive)
    Read the explanation

    A word that names an action is called a verb.

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Practise simple Thai sentences: a complete sentence needs a doer and an action, find the doer and the verb, and tell questions and commands apart from statements.

What's in the worksheet

6 multiple-choice questions - Which is a complete sentence: แมวกินปลา / แมวกิน... / ...กินปลา - In หนูอ่านหนังสือ (I read a book), who does the action - In พ่อขับรถ (father drives the car), which word is the action (ขับ) - Which sentence asks a question (หนูกินข้าวแล้วหรือยัง) - Which sentence is a command (ปิดประตูด้วย)

How to use it in class

Use after a lesson on sentences, 5 minutes in solo mode, reading each question aloud. - For items 2 and 3, children act it out: point to themselves for who, mime reading or driving for the action - After item 5, each child gives a friend one command to follow - Do not score item 6 from the game. It asks for punctuation but keys the question word ไหม. Explain that ไหม, หรือยัง and อะไร are question words, while ? is a mark found in everyday print Play it linked to a class and the results go into the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Item 2: choosing หนังสือ (book), the most visible noun; ask whether a book can read by itself - Item 6: choosing the question mark, which children have seen in comics and English, and which is not wrong in real life - Item 4: choosing หนูยังไม่ได้กินข้าวเลย because it contains ยัง like the question
