Game Features

  • Clear, visual instructions for students


  • Simple editing - template instructs you which type of sentence you should type (a correct one or incorrect one)


  • Bettings sheets for print included in downloadable file

How to Play

  • Students play this game individually.


  • All students start with $10.


  • Each round they will read a sentence and decide if it's correct or not, then make a bet based on how confident they are with their answer.


  • If they are right, they get to add their bet to their total amount of money.


  • However, if they are wrong, they have to subtract their bet from their total amount of money.


  • The student(s) with the most money at the end of the game wins!

Variations

  • Feel free to change the amount students can bet. When I used this game, I taught an elementary-level ESL class, so it was easier for me to explain in English that they could bet up to $10 versus their maximum bet is their current total amount for each round.


  • For the online/Zoom version of the game, students will draw a simplified version of the betting sheet in their notebook or on a piece of paper. I have also added a 30 second timer bar to the game slides so students know how long they have to guess and make their bets. Feel free to adjust the time as needed.

Runtime

STUDENTS: 8     TIME: 40min     SKILL FOCUS: Reading     FINISHED GAME?: Yes

  • My kids had so much fun with this game. watching their faces when the sentences would come up was so funny, me and my co-teachers couldn't stop laughing. I had to add another 12 questions to the game because i was filling up an entire period. 24 questions was more than enough for 40-45 mins. My kids are elementary but this would be fine for older students. I threw some curveballs and made it a little more difficult to discourage max betting because my students are high level. It worked fine. Thanks for the game!
