Like- Alphabet Coin Game

Like & Don’t Like- Alphabet Coin Game
Choose a letter of the alphabet, for example by picking a letter out of a bag of Scrabble
letters or magnetic letters or by using the alphabet prompts below. Make a true “You
like…” or “You don’t like…” sentence about your partner using a noun or verb starting with
that letter. You get one point if what you say is true. Change roles and do the same, then
continue switching roles, choosing letters and making true statements until your teacher
stops the game.
Useful language
“That’s true”
“That’s not true. Actually I…”
