The first player then puts a domino down before or after the domino on the table, making sure that the interjection matches the appropriate situation or expression, or vice versa. The other players then take turns matching their dominoes in the same way by putting them down at either end of the domino chain. If a player cannot put down one of their dominoes, they take a domino from the top of the pile and put it down if they can. If there are no dominoes left in the pile, play passes to the next student. The first player to get rid of all their dominoes wins the game. show less

ESL Interjections Worksheet - Grammar and Vocabulary Exercises: Matching, Gap-fill, Writing Sentences - Speaking Activities: Discussion, Guessing Game - Pair Work This insightful interjections worksheet helps students learn and practice some interjections that are commonly used in the English language. Students begin by reading about interjections and their uses. Next, students match interjections with sentence halves and then match each interjection with its correct use. Next, in pairs, students compare the interjections with words used in their own language to express the same feelings and emotions to see if they are the same or different. Students also discuss other interjections they use to express feelings and emotions. After that, students begin sentences with suitable interjections from a box. In the last exercise, students write down eight interjections from the worksheet and create a suitable following sentence for each one. Afterwards, they read their sentences to a partner without saying the interjection to see if they can guess what it is. show less
