Lesson delivery

1. Divide pupils into 2 teams of equal size and ask them to give their team a name.

2. Write the team names on the board.
3. Draw the noughts [O] and crosses [X] grid on the board.

4. Tell pupils that their team gets a nought or cross on a topic square if they answer a question about that topic correctly. The aim of the game is to make a line of their
team’s symbol (nought or cross) across, down or diagonally in order to score a point. If a team makes this line, they score a point. In the example on the previous
page, the noughts team have made a diagonal line by answering three questions correctly. The board is then cleaned and the game continues.

5. Explain that teams will take turns to answer your questions.
6. Tell pupils that they must take it in turns to ask and answer questions, so that everyone gets a chance to practise language. If a team member is not sure of the answer
to a question, team mates can help, but the chosen team member must say the answer to the opposing team.

7. Explain that

 you will read each question only once
 you will accept only the first answer you hear
 there will be a time limit of 40 seconds to answer after the question has been read.
8. Toss a coin to choose a starting team, and play the game.

9. Mark noughts and crosses in the appropriate square when teams answer correctly. Make sure that pupils are quiet when a team reads out their question, so that
everyone can hear it.
