Play the dice game. Write the following on the board:
1 football
1 interesting
2 pizza
2 enjoyable
3 dog
3 popular
4 English
4 easy
5 buses
5 expensive
6 trainers
6 exciting
Shake a dice (use a real dice or find an online dice
program); this number gives you the noun (e.g. a 3 is
dog
) and then shake the dice again and this gives you
an adjective (e.g. a 2 is
enjoyable
). The aim is to make a
comparative sentence with these two words which makes
sense, e.g.
Being with my dog is more enjoyable than doing
homework.
Do a couple of examples as a class. Then,
organise the students into groups to play. If you don’t
have enough dice for each group, ask the students to
write the numbers 1–6 on small pieces of paper and the
player takes a piece of paper twice from the pile.

If necessary, pre-teach
street food
by asking the students
to look at the photos first and say what they think it is
(
food you buy from stalls in the street and then eat in the
street
). The students follow the instructions and then if
they have written the new food and drink vocabulary
in their notebooks in a menu (Vocabulary and Reading
Exercise 1 page 68), encourage them to add the new
vocabulary from this article.
