The last post started a series of posts on grammar taboo. Today another set of cards, this time on past simple.

The rules of grammar taboo are similar to the lexical one. Each student receives a piece of paper with a sentence in a given grammar structure. They have to explain the sentence not using the words written underneath the sentence. They have to inform other players if the sentence is positive, negative or if it is a question. All the students know what structure is being practised. It is also possible to show the sentences instead of explaining them.
A small change may make our students laugh, awake their emotions or make an even easy task a memorable one. In case of role-plays or dialogues such a simple solution is including famous people in the dialogue. Or deciding that these are celebrities who will perform the scene. A job interview - maybe Ronaldo and Queen Elisabeth II? A complaint in the shop - Kate Middleton and Brad Pitt? An argument - Donald Trump and Usain Bolt? Combinations are endless, you can choose pairs of famous people by simple drawing. Below you will find a set of names of different well-known people (both living and not) which are ready to be printed and used during the lesson. We can prepare such a set on our own just before the lesson or ask our students to prepare it.
