Will vs going to dominoes

Intermediate B1-B2
20 mins
Groups of 3-4
 
Worksheet description

Sixteen dominoes with simple utterances illustrating will for spontaneous decisions and predictions; and going to for plans / intentions and strong predictions based on evidence.

Instructions

Cut up the cards as indicated.
Divide them equally among the students in the group.
(For groups of three, there will be one extra card, which should be placed face up in the centre; for groups of four, any student can start by laying any of his/her cards face up in the centre.)

Students then try to complete the two sentences on the first card.
They should proceed one card at a time*.
Demonstrate on the WB if possible. Explain there are 16 individual sentences - they do not make a story.

*Note:
They should not have all the cards face up on the table at the start of the game as this is far more difficult to do and not every student will be focused on every match.
