Practicing 'DO YOU' Questions

Hi There!

The other day I practiced  'Do you' questions with my students,  using  FIRST OUT.

Using colored magnets

Target Language:

Purple    : Do you ....?
Orange  : Do you like to ...?
Pink : Do you want to ...?
Blue : Do you have to ...?
Green : Do you need to ...?

The students could use the questions 'as is' or, if they wanted, add 'every day', 'now' or 'after dinner'.

Answers varied from: 'yes, I do.'  and   'No, I don't.'

up to:        'Yes, I do. I want to do homework every day.'
                'No, I don't. I don't want to do homework.' 'I want to play video games.'



Another excellent game to practice 'like to', have to', 'want to' and 'need to' statements is SUPER DOMINO.

Purple    : I (don't) .... every day.
Orange  : I (don't) like to ... every day.
Pink : I (don't) want to ... after dinner.
Blue : I (don't) have to ... tomorrow.
Green : I (don't) need to ... now.


If you don't have colored magnets (I bought a set for a few hundred yen at the local stationery store) you can always use the solid Colored Coded Cards that come with LMQ and put those on the board.
