Hi there,
my students� fav game: ask them each to write many conditional sentences on separate pieces of paper each, so that each clause can be cut off later on. Every sentence must be somehow connected to the class mates and the teacher: for example:
If Matthew didn �t go truant, he (Matthew) would have to write test on the 2nd Conditional.
If Joanne was silent, Tom would enjoy her company.
If Chris found his scarf, Greta wouldn �t be so cold now.
If Dorota were Matthew, she (Dorota) would go home.
And as soon as each student finishes at least 2 sentences, they need to cut them in half, and put all the "if" clauses into the "if" bag, then the "would" clauses into the "would" bag. The teacher asks the students, one by one, to come closer to the board and draw at random two clauses from the bags and read the new sentence aloud. Most sentences, created in this way, are funny. Example of what it might be like:
If Dorota were Matthew,___________________Tom would enjoy her company.
If Chris found his scarf...___________________ he (Matthew) would have to write test on the 2nd Conditional.
If Joanne was silent, ___________________ Greta wouldn �t be so cold now.
If Matthew didn �t go truant, ________________ she (Dorota) would go home.
The student can repeat his choice (that is s/he can draw once again) if the sentence has no sense. Obviously, the teacher must instruct the students to be quite clear when they formulate the clauses, so that "his"/"her" must have a reference to a certain name.
