By yani subandriyo

How to use this game :
1. Give students pre-learning activities by telling them the myths around our society.
2. Bring students to review the grammar points to be used in the game.
3. Cut the prediction cards and the fact cards, then spread to the students randomly
4. Give students some time to walk around the room and find out their future based on their fact
5. Ask them their future, and don’t forget to stick on the grammar point.
6. Have a nice class.
Language exponent :
• Asking and giving future prediction
Grammar point :• Present future tense

Prediction:

you will have a good luck

If you walk under a ladder, you will have a bad luck

If you spill a salt, you will have a bad luck

If the first person to enter your house in the New Year is a tall man, you will have good luck all year

If you break a mirror, you will have seven years bad luck.

If you open an umbrella in the house, you will have bad luck.

If your hand itches, you will get some money

If you put your clothes on inside out by mistake, you will have good luck.

If you sleep with a mirror under your pillow, you will dream of your future husband.

If you peel an apple and throw the peel over your left shoulder, it will form the initial of your future husband or wife’s name.

If you see a snake crossing your way, you will have a bad luck that day.
