This is a great game to play in pairs or with the whole class. It really helps pupils to use persuasive language while improving their speaking and listening skills. They also love it. For Pairs You need 2 dice. The first player throws a dice for the horizontal and the second player throws a dice for vertical. You then choose who is for and who is against each statement. I usually choose the first round then the second round is chosen by whoever lost the first round and so on. Each pupil has to come up with the most reasons to support their side of the statement. The person with the most wins then you throw the dice again. For Whole Class You need 2 dice. The first player throws a dice for the horizontal and the second player throws a dice for vertical. You then choose who is for and who is against each statement. I usually choose the first round then the second round is chosen by whoever lost the first round and so on. The whole class decides, by raising hands, which was the most persuasive. It helps to limit the amount of time to say 1 minute each.

This game is really popular with all classes. It’s designed for KS2 and KS3 but I have seen GCSE classes enjoy it too at the end of term. The game is good fun and is really helpful for expanding vocabulary. The rules are on a powerpoint that can be used with the class. A word document also has the rules and suggestions for the teacher and also has a set of synonyms. The set provided is for six players. For a larger class of thirty, you will just need to replicate the set five times. The sheets need be printed on card and cut up. I laminate mine for durability and this also means they can be wiped clean easily. Of course, you can change the words to suit the topic or text you are studying. I make a new set quite regularly- it’s a quick job. Once the children know how to play, the game can be used as a starter or a game at the end of the lesson if they’ve finished their work. Hope you and your classes enjoy! Please leave a review if you found this resource useful :-)
