So and Such ESL Games, Worksheets and Activities
In this useful so and such worksheet, students learn and practice how to use so and such. Students begin by reading a conversation and underlining all the examples of so and such. Next, students write the grammar rules for so and such by looking at the examples in the conversation. Students then complete sentences with so or such. After that, students complete sentences by writing an appropriate word after so or such. In the last exercise, students rewrite sentences replacing so with such, or vice versa.
In this so and such worksheet, students learn how to use so before an adjective and such before an adjective-noun collocation. First, students find ten adjectives and 10 nouns in a word search and write them in corresponding columns. Students then pair the adjectives and nouns together. After that, students complete sentences using the adjective-noun pairs. In the last exercise, students create one sentence with so and one sentence with such using other adjective and noun pairs.
In this free so and such game, students complete sentences with so and such. Students take it in turns to read one of their noun cards to the group, completing the so sentence with a suitable adjective, e.g. 'This TV show is so good'. The other students then look at the adjective cards in their hand and each respond, completing the such sentence with an appropriate adjective and noun, e.g. 'This is such an interesting TV show'. After listening to all the possible sentences, the student who read the noun card chooses the most suitable response. The two used cards are then removed from the game. The game also contains wild cards. These cards can be used by a student at any point in the game to make a so or such sentence of their choice. For example, the wild card could be used when a student is unable to make an appropriate such sentence from the choice of adjective cards in their hand. The first student to get rid of all their adjective cards wins the game.
In this engaging so and such game, students transform sentences using so into sentences using such and vice versa. One student begins by picking up a card and reading the sentence at the top of the card to the student on their right. That student recreates the sentence by replacing so with such, or vice versa. For example, if a student read 'It's such an interesting book, I love it.' The other student would say 'The book is so interesting, I love it'. If the student is able to transform the sentence successfully, they keep the card. If not, the next student to their right can answer and try to steal the card and so on. The next student then picks up a card and the game continues. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
