Sample questions

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

  1. What is the classifier for an elephant?

    • เชือก (chueak - classifier for elephants)
    • ตัว (tua - classifier for animals)
    • คัน (khan - classifier for vehicles and long-handled things)
    Read the explanation

    The classifier for a tame elephant is เชือก.

  2. Which of these is a compound sentence?

    • แม่ทำกับข้าวอร่อยในครัว (mother cooks tasty food in the kitchen)
    • พ่อทำงานและแม่ทำกับข้าว (father works and mother cooks)
    • พ่อทำงานที่บริษัททุกวัน (father works at the company every day)
    Read the explanation

    Two statements joined by a conjunction, so it is compound.

  3. What does ปิดทองหลังพระ mean?

    • Actually gilding a Buddha image
    • Working alone behind the house
    • Doing good with no wish for praise
    Read the explanation

    Doing good with no wish to be seen or praised for it.

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with three options each - The classifier for an elephant: เชือก - The compound sentence: พ่อทำงานและแม่ทำกับข้าว (father works and mother cooks) - ปิดทองหลังพระ means doing good with no wish for praise - The polite word for หมา is สุนัข, and an essay has 3 parts

How to use it in class

A short end-of-term game of 5-6 minutes, or replay it before mid-term tests. Solo play gives you a per-child picture. On question 1 you may need to say that ตัว is heard for elephants in everyday speech, but เชือก is the textbook answer. After question 6, have the class chant the three parts of an essay together. You can link it to a class and record it in the gradebook, then see which topic each child misses most. In English mode, question 5 shows สุนัข simply as a dog, which says nothing about politeness; play that item in Thai mode.

Common sticking points

- Question 1: choosing ตัว because at home they say ช้างสามตัว. Accept that it is common speech, but the textbook answer is เชือก. - Question 2: choosing แม่ทำกับข้าวอร่อยในครัว because it is the longest. Count the main verbs and look for a joining word like และ. - Question 5: choosing เจ้าตูบ because it sounds sweet. A cute word is not the same as a polite word.
