with vocabulary from SPEC 1
Ask your partner “Are they… or…?” about two things in the room then race to touch the thing that they say, e.g. racing to touch at least two chairs if the question is “Are they tables or chairs?” and the answer is “They are chairs”.
Do the same, but this time making the question and answer word by word around the class, e.g. running to touch the board pens if you take turns saying “Are” “they” “windows” “or” “board pens” “They” “are” “board pens”.
Work in teams of at least two people. Your teacher will show the people whose turn it is the card and ask the rest of the class the “Are they… or…?” question on the card, e.g. “Are they fish or whales?” You and your partner(s) should both mime the thing that is underlined, then the other teams will try to guess what you are trying to act out.
Ask your partner to close their eyes and put two things of the same kind such as two plastic apples or two pens in your partner’s hands or in a bag on their lap. Ask “Are they… or…?” about those things. You get one point if they get the wrong answer.
