horse.
Find someone who (use Have you ever?+ the item in the box, e.g. Have you ever
ridden a horse?)
Procedure
Depending on the learners level of English, go through the vocabulary, so that the learners have a
clear idea about what this activity is about.
Pupils mingle around the classroom, accosting others to find a person (another pupil) who meets
the requirement in a particular box and ask the person to sign in the box if they meet the
requirement. The one who has collected signatures in all the boxes has won. The stress is on a
dialogue and its form.
Example
The activity is for body-kinaesthetic learner types and verbal types and also for the pupils with
both inter-personal and intra-personal intelligences. It may let off some of the learners steam if
they are too restless and/or bored.
It may enhance imagination and acquisition of the tense in those learners who have difficulty using
the present perfect.
This activity presupposes some prior pre-teaching stage of the present perfect, so that the learners
are familiar with the concept of time.
Notes
The activities are quite general, so that the pupils should in most cases answer in affirmative.
Also, the adjunct ever is in italics to indicate that it is a key word which signals the present perfect.
When the pupils have played the game some number of times they can come up with their own
suggestions as to what could be included in the boxes. The suggestions should be provided to you
as a teacher in English and privately on a piece of paper, so that the other pupils do not know.
Whether or not to include queries such as Have you ever flown by the UFO? or the like is up to
you.
