Countable and uncountable answer me games

Warmer: Countable and uncountable Make me say Yes

Ask personal yes/ no questions with countable or uncountable nouns and numbers or amounts like those in the table below to try to get positive answers from your partner. You get one point if your partner says “Yes, (there is/ there are/ I do/ I have)”, but no points if they say “No, (there isn’t/ there aren’t/ I don’t/ I haven’t)”

 

Countable and uncountable nouns answer me card game

Deal out the pack of cards. Ask each other questions like those in the table below or “How much/ many…?” questions to try to get answers from your partner that are written on your cards. If your question is grammatically incorrect, they can reject your question and play passes to the next person. If your partner says the thing written on one of your cards, you can place that card down on the table and score a point. The winner is the first person to get rid of all their cards, or the person with fewest cards left when the teacher stops the game.
