Brief Description Students play a grammar game in which they practice using verbs and adverbs.
Younger students can play the game to learn to identify verbs and adverbs in English.
Older students might play the game to practice using verbs and adverbs in a foreign language. One student is chosen to be It and steps outside or puts his or her head down on a desk. The remaining students select an action word, such as study or fly. It tries to guess the action word by asking questions substituting the word coffeepot wherever a verb would appear. The other students answer with clues that are deliberately evasive but true.
