Keep or Give Game | To Be, Do, Does

This engaging grammar activity helps students practise am / is / are and do / does questions in a fun and interactive way. Instead of traditional drills, learners complete question gaps, talk about personal topics, and make strategic choices about their points, which keeps everyone involved and motivated throughout the activity.

How to use

• Students read the question on each slide and fill in the gap with am, is, are, do, or does.
• If the answer is correct, they must decide whether they want to keep their points or give them away to another student or team.
• The number of points may be tricky, which adds excitement and encourages strategic thinking.
• Students then answer the question personally to practise speaking.
• For extra points, they can also try to guess their partner’s answer before hearing it.
• The activity works well in pairs, small groups, or teams and is perfect as a lively grammar practice stage or lesson warm-up.
