Each player takes six cards. Place the rest of the cards face down in a pile on the table. The first player to throw a six starts the game. This player throws the dice and moves their counter along the board according to the number on the dice. The player reads the subject pronoun and verb on the square the counter lands on and matches it with a word on one of their cards and reads out a complete sentence, adding the correct preposition. Now the next player throws the dice and so on. The game continues until the first player reaches the square marked 'finish' or finishes all their cards.

Verbs and other Words - Board Game
This board game helps students practice the present simple (regular verbs and verb to be + from) as well as prepositions of place by matching verbs with other words and expressions. Make one copy of the game board and cards for each group of three to four students. Cut the cards out as indicated. Provide dice and counters for each group. Procedure Write the following on the board in three columns: Im I go I work I live in from to Bangkok an office school

Ask the students to make as many sentences as they can. Examples: Im from Bangkok. I live in Bangkok. I go to school in Bangkok. I work in an office in Bangkok. Tell the students that they are going to play a game where they match verbs and other words in this way. Ask the students to work in groups of three or four. Give one game board and one set of cards, counters and dice to each group. Before the students start playing the game, demonstrate how to play using the instructions written on the board game. Now the students are ready to play the game. While they are playing, go round to each group and check they are playing correctly. If appropriate, players can use two of their cards to make a longer sentence, e.g. They work in an office in New York. If the group thinks it is correct, the player puts their card(s) to the bottom of the pile on the table and it is the next players turn to play. If the sentence is not correct, the player may not put their card to the bottom of the pile, but must keep it. If a player hasnt got a word card that goes with the verb, they pick up a card from the top of the pile and match it with the verb if possible.
