This speaking exercise is perfect for reviewing modal verbs. The teaching activity covers modal verbs of ability, obligation, prohibition and possibility.
This is good activity for advanced beginner level students to practice three things at the same time - Modal verbs, asking Polite questions, and Special questions. I'm going to try it with my practicum group.
This activity can be played either with teenagers or even kids. It is engaging and brings active interaction into the classroom. All the students are involved in the activity at the same time. It is also exciting for the teacher as he has to create questions during the activity aside from those prepared. Finally it is competition among the student which works perfect most of the times. Enjoy.
Through this activity your intermediate learners will have a chance to practice modal verbs should/shouldn't. This activity requires the learners not only to choose the correct answer but also think of ways how to behave in certain situations and be creative!
