I go to school to study English.

Practice

This may take some explaining.

Put the students in groups and give them a worksheet each. You will need to prepare a set of cards for each group too.

Students Janken and the winner goes first and draws a card. The winner (A) asks the person to their left (B) and goes through this dialogue:

A: Do you go to (read the card)?
B: Yes, I do.
A: Why?
B: I go to (card) to (student thinks of a reason).

The student B gets the points on the card and gets to move that many around the board.

Play passes to the next student.

Extra rules/explanation

Instead of the next student to the left, they can use a dice and use that to pick a random (B) student.

The reason that B gets the points is to positively re-enforce being chosen to participate.

Instead of using a counter have the winner sign the finishing position.

The reason they each work from their own paper is so they have a take-away from the activity.
