Present Simple matchmakers game

Take a card with three options. Without saying what the options are, ask about your partner’s routines and preferences (= what they do and what they like doing) to find which one is best for them. When you are sure about which one they would like most, explain what you chose for them and why. They can then look at the choices and see if they like one of the other two options more than your choice for them. They will do the same for you with three different options.
