Yes/No Game

This is a fun and engaging activity that can be carried out in a number of ways within a
lesson.
The idea is simple, you can't say yes and you can't say no.
An easy way to play the yes or no game is to ask a student to come to the front of the
class. The teacher then asks the student questions about the topic that has just been
studied or the subject in general. The student is not allow to say yes or no. What is
great about this activity is that it takes very little preparation from the teacher and really
forces students to think and carefully consider their responses.
A more interactive method of the yes or no game is to split the class into pairs and ask
each pair to spend 3 or 4 minutes preparing some questions to ask each other on the
topic that has just been studied with the specific purpose of trying to get the other
student to say yes or no. After the questions have been prepared then the students
take it in turns to play the yes or no game whilst the teacher circulates and listens to the
quality of the questions and the answer.
