Variation(s)

The same procedure could be done in a little different way. Pupils work in pairs. Each pair has a scene picture and a picture of a cat. P1 places the picture of a cat on the picture, e.g. next to the table, and says the INCORRECT sentence about the place of the cat (e.g. "Lucas in under the cupboard"). P2 has to listen carefully and to correct the statement (e.g. "No, he isn't. Lucas is next to the table") Then pupils swap roles. Suggested time - 5 min.
