Find The Wrong - Is/Are

This is a game in which the students race to be the first to find all the grammar mistakes.

DETAILED EXPLANATION:

  • Pass out the worksheet face down and tell the students not to turn it over. They turn them over at the same time and start to look for the correct/incorrect sentences.
  • If they find a correct sentence they draw a circle on the line, but if they find an incorrect sentence they have to rewrite the entire sentence, not just the part that is wrong.
  • After they finish with one sentence they go to the ALT or English teacher and have their sentence checked.
  • If the sentence is OK, the student goes on to the next sentence, but if it is not they have to try again.
  • The students repeat until the worksheet is finished.

VARIATIONS:

  • This can be used for many different grammar points.

TEACHING SUGGESTIONS:

  • If you find the lines are getting long tell the students they can fix a couple of sentences before getting into line.
  • For some classes it is best to let students work in pairs or groups.

TIPS/CAUTIONS:

  • I give the first one to finish a little prize and have them become a sentence checker along with the ALT and the English teacher.
