Lesson Procedure

Simple sentences using might or could.

One or two students stand with their backs to the board; they are the guessers. You write on the board the name of a well-known household object, eg: a pencil, a cup, a dictionary or a box of matches. The rest of the class help the guessers to find out what the object is by suggesting things they might (or could) do with it. They should use their imaginations, and not give away the answer by suggesting the obvious use - at least not immediately! For example, if the object is a pencil, they could say things like:

  • I could pick it up.

  • I might throw it at someone.

  • I might point at something with it.

  • I could scratch my head with it.

Note that in this case, might and could are used interchangeably.
