English Instructions

Materials: No materials needed

1. Secretly choose a word students already know, such as “elephant.” You may reveal the category for extra support.

2. Students take turns asking Yes/No questions, such as “Is it an animal?”, “Is it big?”, “Can it fly?” or “Is it in the zoo?”

3. The teacher may answer only Yes or No. Students use each clue to narrow down the possibilities.

4. Each student gets only one final guess per round. For example: “I think it’s an elephant!”

5. Correct guess → earn a reward and become the next clue giver. Wrong guess → no more final guesses that round, but the student may keep asking questions.

💡 Support students with question categories such as appearance, ability, location and use. You can also choose a word from the day’s lesson for an easy review activity.

中文玩法

準備:無

① 老師選答案:老師先偷偷選一個學生學過的單字,例如 elephant,寫下來但不能讓學生看到,但根據學生程度可以決定是否透露類別。

② 輪流提問:
學生輪流用英文疑問句找線索,
例如:Is it an animal? / Is it big? / Can it fly? / Is it in the zoo?

③ 老師只能回答 Yes / No:不能直接提供其他提示,讓學生根據每一次回答慢慢縮小範圍。

④ 每人只有一次猜答案的機會:學生覺得自己知道答案時,可以直接猜,
例如:I think it’s an elephant!

⑤ 猜對/猜錯:
猜對 👉 獲得獎勵,並可以成為下一輪出題者。
猜錯 👉 這一輪不能再猜答案,但仍然可以蒐集線索。

💡 老師可以依程度引導問句:從 Category、Appearance、Ability、Location、Use 等方向提示學生怎麼問。也可以直接把答案換成當天正在教的單字,順便複習!
