Twenty Questions
Since it's important for your English lessons to include a variety of activities that get your students actively involved in the lesson, you can try this fun game called Twenty Questions.
This game is especially good for when you are working with new students as an icebreaker. But it is also very adaptable, and you can use it with any vocabulary or grammar that you are currently working on.
Twenty questions can be played in different ways.
First, create a list of questions for your students to answer. If they are more difficult questions, you can use less than twenty.
If you want to practice vocabulary, ask questions that will get your students to use the words they are learning.
For example, imagine you are working with jobs and professions. You could ask:

For example, imagine you are working with jobs and professions. You could ask:

You can do the same thing with different grammar topics.
For example, if you are working with the present perfect tense:
For example, if you are working with the present perfect tense:
- What is the best concert you have ever been to?
- How many times have you had English class this week?

Use this activity however you want. Your students will have fun and learn at the same time!
