Lesson Plan Content:
Have/Have Got with Prepositions of Position Guessing Games
Ask your partner a “Do you have…?”/ “Have you got…?” question. If the answer is “Yes, I
do”/ “Yes, I have” you will get a point, but if the answer is “No, I don’t”/ “No, I haven’t” you
get no points.
OR
Try to make true sentences about what your partner has (got). You get one point if they
say “That’s true” but no points if they say “That’s not true”.
Do the same, but this time asking or talking about what your partner has (got) in particular
places like “in your pocket” and “on your balcony”.
Continue, but this time talking about the places which are written on the next page.
What are the differences between these prepositions?
-
on/ above
-
in front of/ opposite
-
next to/ near
Play the same asking questions or making true statements game, but this time making
your own sentences from the cut up cards below. You can also ask about places which
aren’t on the cards if you like.
Play the same game, but this time just with your own ideas.
Choose a place. Your partner will ask questions or make statements about things in that
place until they find out at least one thing that you have (got) there.
Choose one thing that you have and tell your partner “I have…” without saying where it is.
They will ask questions or make statements until they find out where you have that thing.
