Entrega a los equipos la página 1. Tienen diez minutos para contestar a
las preguntas. Las respuestas deben escribirlas en la tabla de la página 2.
Esto asegurará que el proceso de alzar las tarjetas sea más rápido y el
juego más emocionante.
Lee las preguntas en voz alta. Cuando todos los equipos levanten la

Vocabulary was, were, wasn’t, weren’t
The vocabulary is taken from the readings in the Pupil’s Book, page 15, and
the Activity Book, page 14. Some of the quiz questions come from the
Photocopiable Activities booklet, page 12, but it is not necessary to do
this in order to play the game.
Individual activity. Make one photocopy of page 1 for each pupil. The
pupils can write their answer in their notebooks. Go over the answers
with the class.
Answers: 1 b 2 d 3 c 4 a 5 d 6 d 7 c 8 a 9 b 10 c 11 b
12 b 13 b 14 c 15 a
Team game.
Make one photocopy of each page (pages 1 and 2) per
group of three or four.
Divide the class into teams with three or four players in each. Give each
team a photocopy of page 2 first. The pupils cut out the a, b, c, d cards
and think of a name for their team. Write the team names in columns
on the board to keep score.
Give the teams page 1. Set a time limit of ten minutes for them to read
the questions and decide on their answers, which they write in the
table on page 2. This ensures that the process of holding up the cards
is faster and makes the game more exciting.
Read out the questions. When all the teams are holding up their
answers, tell them which letter is correct and award points accordingly.
Stress that they must look at their answer sheet carefully and hold up
the correct card, as it is the card they hold up which will be taken as
their final answer.
Finally, count the points and declare a winner.
*Write the facts you didn’t know in your notebooks. Write sentences
with the correct answers. The pupils look at the questions they got
wrong and write the sentence, with the correct answer, in their
notebook. Make sure they copy the sentences correctly, with no
spelling mistakes. When they have finished, they can compare with
a friend.
