Then the teacher can answer using one of the words on the card (e.g. If the card is in the middle of the line, students cannot turn it over.įor example, if you are teaching the present progressive / continuous tense you can ask students to shout out ‘What are you doing?’.

Once students have placed their cards in a line, the game can begin. Ask them to place them in a horizontal line in any order they want.
