ESL classroom game
Fetch!
Each question is one throw. The answers stand on the lawn as cards with a ball in front of each. The student taps a card or its ball, the ball flies into the park, and the puppy races after it.
Multiple choiceTrue / false
How to play Fetch!
- Press Play and the puppy gets ready.
- Read the question and tap the card or ball with the right answer, or press 1 to 4, A to D, or T and F. Arrows and Enter work too.
- Watch the puppy fetch, then throw again.
Right and wrong answers
A right answer comes back as the ball, with a trick and a treat. A wrong one comes back as a sock. The clock pauses between throws.
