A fun game for younger learners to practice adverbs of frequency. Primary aged students enjoy this silly activity and it is really purposeful because they are constantly repeating the target language, both orally and in writing.
Pre-task
Elicit 6 adverbs of frequency to put on the board:
always
often
sometimes
rarely
hardly ever
never
Main Activity
Give each pair of students a pile of strips face down (page 2 of attached doc).
The fun of this activity comes from the irreverence of the sentences, but not all of them will be right for you and your class. Just pick and choose 8 that are.
Student A takes the top strip and asks question “How often do you eat worms?”
Student B rolls die and answers appropriately with a complete sentence.
e.g. Student rolls 2 : "I often eat worms"
Student rolls 5: "I hardly ever eat worms"
Follow up 1
Student writes 3 surprising things which they have learnt about their partner (e.g. Diego often kills people)
This is where the 3rd person s comes in.
Follow up, images from page 3 can be used as flash cards to elicit sentences.
Follow up 2
Change partners and show images from attached powerpoint. They then have to remember the sentence and tell their new partner about themselves or their previous partner.
Alternative
Instead of using 6 adverbs of frequency this activity works equally well with likes/dilikes:
love
really like
quite like
don’t mind
don’t like
can’t stand
