Introduction:
Students write sentences then review them in a group. Based on quantifiers but can be just on other grammar.

 

What is learnt?
Quantifiers

How the game is played:

1. Put these quantifiers up on the board:

2. loads and loads of students         several students
   a lot of students                          not many students
   quite a few students                    few students
   not all students                           one or two students
   a good few students                    a few good students
   some students                             too many students
   

3. Ask each student to write twelve sentences using each quantifier once and making statements about the school, e.g. 'Some students have brothers and sisters here.' 'Not many students have foreign parents.'
   
   

4. Put the students in groups of four or five and ask them to compare their statements.

 

Variation
Ask students to do the same exercise but to pick another group they belong to, not the school, e.g.: their extended family their mosque or church or temple a sporting group they belong to a political party their class (rather than the whole school)
