It is a simple yet fun guessing game. Read out these 5 sentences to your students. Tell them that they all describe one place. After you've read out each sentence pause for a few seconds so that your students can write their guess in their notebooks.   When you have finished, ask Ss to read out their 5 guesses. The person who guessed the correct answer earliest, is the winner. The answer is: Iceland.   Extra task: distribute the text and ask students to underline phrases refering to the future (I've underlined them for you below). ... more »
