New Headway Pre-Intermediate Units 9-13
In groups of two to four students, place your counters (coins, erasers etc) on the first square. Choose if you want to deal with that situation by phone, by email or face to face. If it is by email, tell your partner(s) what you will write, and if you choose telephone or face to face roleplay the conversation with your partner(s). They will then decide how many points you get:
3 points- very successful email or conversation
2 points- quite successful email or conversation
1 point- not very successful email or conversation
0 points- didn’t manage to do what you wanted to do
You can then move forward that many squares, and play passes to the next person clockwise.
