Pick and act imperatives card game

with classroom vocabulary and negative imperatives

 

Instructions for teachers

Copy and cut up one copy per class, or one copy per group of two to four students if you want to play the game in groups. Students take turns choosing and arranging words to make actions that they want their partner(s) to do or nearly do, e.g. putting the cards “Lift up + the + basket” together to make their classmates do that. If they make a negative imperative sentence like “Don’t + write on + the + teacher”, their partner(s) should nearly do that thing, e.g. pretend to write a few millimetres in front of the teacher.
