Rules:

• Put the cards face down in the middle of the table.
  
• Player that starts picks a card and rolls the dice.
  • If the dice shows an
    
    odd number
    
    , the player must make a negative sentence with his card.
    
    
    I can’t skate
    
    or
    
    I don’t like cooking
    
    , etc.
    
  • If the dice shows an
    
    even number
    
    , the player must produce an affirmative sentence.
    
    
    I travel a lot
    
    or
    
    I’m a photographer
    
    , etc.
• Then the other player (or the player to his/her right) must agree or disagree with the statement.
  • If he/she does it
    
    correctly
    
    , the student who made the sentence gives him/her the card and the game continues in the same way.
  • If the student makes a
    
    mistake
    
    , they get a point. Every 2 points they miss a turn.
• The student with the most cards wins.

Adaptations:

• This game can be adapted and played in the past simple, present perfect, etc or it can be simplified using jobs. For example, focus only on
  
  To Be
  
  and use the dice to decide if the player must agree or disagree with the card.
