ESL Future Perfect Continuous Board Game - Grammar and Speaking: Forming Questions from Prompts, Giving True or False Answers, Guessing, Freer Practice - Group Work In this fun future perfect continuous board game, students use the future perfect continuous tense to describe what they will have been doing by specific future times. In groups, players take turns rolling the dice and moving their counter along the board. When the player lands on a time expression square, they pick up a true or false card from the pile and look at it without showing anyone. The player then makes a future perfect continuous sentence using the time expression on the square, giving either true or false information as indicated on the card, e.g. 'I will have been studying for two hours by dinner time.' If the player forms the sentence correctly, they score a point. Next, the other students guess whether the sentence is true or false, and the player reveals the correct answer, placing the card at the bottom of the pile. Each student who guesses correctly scores one point. When a player reaches the finish, the game ends and the points are added up. The student with the most points wins the game. show less
