This simple dice game is a fun way to practice adverbs of frequency and questions like “How often do you…?” Students answer everyday questions using silly, exaggerated responses based on the rolls of a die. The activity works well as a whole-class game or in pairs, and all you need is a single die. It’s an easy way to get students speaking and using adverbs of frequency in context. If you need a refresher on what adverbs of frequency are, these are covered in our useful adverbs teacher guide.

Adverbs Of Frequency Game – How To Play

To play this game, simply show the video in class. It can be played as a whole-class activity or in pairs using a single die.

Whole-Class Activity

Prepare one dice and ask a student to come to the front.
The rest of the class asks a question, such as: “How often do you eat ice cream?”
The student at the front rolls the dice and answers using the number shown and the prompt on the screen.
For example: “I eat ice cream five times a day.”

Pair Activity

Give each pair of students one die.
Students take turns asking and answering questions.
The student answering rolls the dice to generate a silly response.
Be sure to pause the video when the pause sign appears so students have time to speak.
