teaching Tag questions

Hello, Dear Teachers.
Most of times I try to go to classes with 2 or 3 ways of teaching a topic in mind. But Tag Questions are puzzling me. I only can think of grammatical ways of teaching it. I need communicative ways of teaching Tag Questions. Can you give different ideas of how to teach tag questions in a nice way?
Thanks

Hello dear... Well, when I have to teach Tag Questions I first "role play" with students a "Game Show". I say a sentence and give options and they have to show me the corresponding letter of the option they think is the correct. Example:
Keanu Reeves is: a) American; b) Lebanese; c) Turkish.
After the "Game Show" stuff, I try to remember their answers like: "Keanu Reeves is Lebanese, isn�t he?", and the students answer "yes" or "no". Then I write some examples on the board (from the previous exercise or not) but let them give the tag questions.
On this way it �s possible to start checking a little bit of grammar, as you told.
I hope I �ve helped you. Any problem tell me. XOXO
