Aim: Players will hone their speaking skills and recapitulate the
grammatical point of infinitives (full/bare) & gerund
Language Level: Upper Intermediate (B2) - Proficiency (C2)
# of players: 2+ players or small teams of 2-4 players each
How to play: At the beginning of the round, each player (or team) gets
six question-cards. Players roll the dice alternatively to decide who is
going to start and then they take turns in a clockwise order. Rolling the
dice, they move onto squares and select to use one of their cards
depending on the colour of the square they are on. For example, if they
are on a square having a green, 120-dollar apple they have to form an
utterance including a word or phrase from the green part of one of their
cards (see picture 1). If the reply given is both logical and grammatically
accepted they get a fruit-badge having the fruit and the amount of money
they have earned on it (see picture 2). Otherwise, if the utterance
expressed is neither logical, nor grammatically accepted they do not
receive anything and play again when their turn comes. The wide variety
of lexical options appearing on the question-cards allows players to
practise speaking and develop diverse utterances. After each turn, players
have to put the card they used on the pile of cards, face down. When they
use the six cards they got initially, they will start taking one card at a time
from the pile.
Who wins: Winner is the player (or the team) who manages to "pick" six
different fruit badges, one of each kind. Otherwise, winner is the person
(or the team) who is "richer" - based on the sum of money they have
collected from their fruit-badges - when the first player goes to Finish.
