everything. If you have a full
class of 40 (4 x 10) then A few examples of the easy questions I use (for Japanese
write the following prize students learning English):
money scale on the
whiteboard (if there are only
32 (4 x 8) then take out
maybe the $500 and
$500000)
Doraemon has no ears - True
There were 5 members of the Beatles - False
Anpanman's weakness is water - True
I have 4 arms - False
We live on the moon - False
The sun is hot - True

I have around 50 ready to ask them but I don't find it hard to think of new one's on the fly if I run
out during the lesson.

To add to the fun, give them 2 lifelines that they can choose to use at any stage during their
team’s turn (they can only use each lifeline once per round).

Phone a friend - Call someone else in the team and ask them for help (feel free to make them
pretend that they're actually talking on a phone for laughs).

Ask the group - Let the team discuss what they think is the best answer.

That basically wraps it up, with 4 groups it takes around 15mins to get through 1 round. Keep
track of how much money each team puts in the bank and you can add it up to see which team
wins.

I've had a lot of fun with this game as the students really get into it, they put pressure on each
other to try just one more question and it’s always funny when they play it safe and 'bank'
money rather than taking a risk. Have fun and enjoy this ESL classroom activity

Pretend that I am weightless 
And in this moment I am happy, happy

I wish you were here (chorus)

 
I lay my head onto the sand

With holes punched in it 
I'm counting UFOs 
I signal them with my lighter 
And in this moment I am happy, happy 

I wish you were here (chorus)

The world's a rollercoaster 

And I am not strapped in 
Maybe I should hold with care 
But my hands are busy in the air saying 

I wish you were here (chorus)
