This game is good for practising and reviewing action verbs and adverbs.

Procedure

• One student has to think of a verb, but not tell the others.

• The other students then try to guess the verb by asking questions. The missing verb can be substituted with coffeepot
  Example questions:
  
  • Why do you coffee pot?
  • Where do you coffee pot?
  • Do you coffee pot by yourself?

• Do you need any special equipment for coffee potting?

• Make sure the students ask questions and don't just guess the verb.

• You could put the students in teams to try to guess the verb and award points to the teams for getting the correct verb.

• It might be wise for you to demonstrate the game first with the students asking you questions.
