Is there/ Are there and prepositions dice game
Draw an empty house each. Ask your partner a yes/ no question about what is in your house using the table below like “Are there two sofas in your bathroom?” or “Is there a table in front of your television?” Your partner will roll a dice and then answer with the reply below matching that number below, e.g. “Yes, there are” if the number is 1, or “No, there isn’t. There is a table next to the television” if the number is 6. Take turns doing the same until you have ten things in each house or until your teacher stops you.
