In groups, players take turns rolling the dice and moving their counter along the board. When a player lands on a square, they pick up a true or false card and look at it without showing anyone. Next, the player forms a present perfect Wh question from the prompt on the square, e.g. 'Where have you travelled to this year?' If the player forms the question correctly, they score a point. The player then gives a true or false present perfect answer to the question as indicated on the card. The other students then guess whether the player's response is true or false, and the player reveals the answer. Each student who guessed correctly scores one point. Then, the next player rolls the dice, and so on. When a player reaches the finish, the game ends and the points are added up. The player with the most points wins the game. show less
