Divide the class into two groups. Ask students to prepare Grammar cards ( will/going
to/conditionals/wishes) and Vocabulary cards and put them in two topic boxes. Both groups
place their counters on the START bar. Students take turns to roll the dice and match the
number on the dice to one of the topics. Students move their counter according to the
number rolled. They need to complete the Grammar sentence or answer the Vocabulary
question. If they give acceptable answers, they stay where they are. If not, they move back
one space. The first group to reach the FINISH bar wins.
