Read the first part of your sentence to your partner, without giving them the adverb. Can they guess which adverb is true for you?
| Useful language to play the game:“That’s also true, but that’s not the adverb I wrote””(You are/ That is) close/ near!””That’s right. You’ve got it””It’s your turn. (Can you read out one of your sentences?)” “It’s the opposite of that” |
Key- A dash (-) means opposite, an equals mark (=) means it means the same, and a forward slash (/) means the meaning is similar
