Depending on the age group, the game can be performed for 10 - 15 minutes.
Learning objectives
The aims aim of the game are to help students understand adverbs, practive practice pronunciation and eventually learn new words.
...
After explaining the rules, say briefly what an adverb is. (I said "Adverbs show how things happen."). Give examples and act out a situation (e.g. dance quickly and then slowly). Read out all adverbs and explain with words or movements what they mean. Ask participants if they understand all adverbs. If they don't, explain again. Make sure all participants understand the game and the adverbs before the start of the game.
Letting it run
The Adverb Game is played in 2 teams (team A and team B). Both teams get a table with adverbs and images which illustrate their meaning (see image).
Team A chooses an adverb that team B has to guess. To do this, team B asks team A to perform an action in a way which corresponds to their adverb (e.g. "Please play the piano." or "Can you play the piano?") . Cards with verbs (e.g. "dig a hole", "play football") are provided to help students who struggle with formulating an action.
After no more than 3 different actions team B has to take a guess. If it is correct, team A gets a point.
After the correct adverb is announced, every student pronounces it out loud.
In the next round, the teams change roles.
