TEACHER’S NOTES
Mixed Conditional Cards
Introduction
In this mixed conditionals game, students race each other to
complete conditional sentences.
Procedure
Divide the students into groups of three. Groups of four are also
possible by removing one card from the game.
Tell the students that they are going to play a card game to
practice mixed conditional forms.
Give each group a set of cards.
Ask the students to shuffle the cards and place them face-down
in a pile on the table.
One student begins by turning over the top card and reading the
beginning of a conditional sentence aloud.
The other students in the group then race to complete the ending
of the conditional sentence.
This could be done in written form with each student racing to
write down an answer on a piece of paper, or you could have the
students shout out an ending to the sentence.
The first student to produce a grammatically correct and
appropriate conditional sentence keeps the card.
The next student then picks up a card and so on.
The student with the most cards at the end of the game is the
winner.
