The teacher
The teacher prepares the quiz of the grammar point(s) attached on the sticks, modified football field, and the player sticks (2 teams). The field is divided into some parts with blue lines.

Class Activities
Students work in 2 teams, say, the Red Team and the White Team, and they place their team logo in the center of the field. A member of the Red Team mentions a number of the players in red. S/he must answer the question attached in the player whose the number is mentioned. If s/he can correctly answer it, the team logo can be moved to the next blue line. If s/he can't do, the logo is still in the place. Then, a member of the White Team does the same with the players in white.

The aim is that the team can move to the last blue line of the opponent area. If the member correctly answer the question in the last blue line, it means that s/he makes a goal. Then, the logo team is moved to the center of the field again. The teacher must set how long the game last.

Post 16. Grouping Students

How to divide students into some groups/pairs Pair works, group works, and class works are common class activities for a big class.
