Superlative Adjectives- Dice Bluffing Game

Superlative adjectives dice bluffing game

Choose one of the tables below. Roll a dice twice, the first time to decide the adjective (from the second column below) and the second time to decide the noun (from the third column), e.g. “the healthiest meal (I have ever had)”. Tell your partner about something that matches those words, e.g. the best evening you have ever had. If you can’t quickly think of something that really matches those words, just use your imagination. Speak as long as you can. After listening to your story (without interrupting) and then maybe asking follow-up questions to get more details, your partner will guess if your story was true or if it was just your imagination.
