HOW LONG IS THE GAME?
Pupils will probably not be able to finish it in one lesson. In this case you have two possibilities: 
1. Ask pupils to count their money and the worth of the fields. The one with the highest amount of money wins. 
2. Ask pupils to write down how much money they have and which fields they have bought. In this way they will be able to continue playing the game the next time. 

WHAT IS IT FOR?
Pupils practise and revise vocabulary (jobs, food) and grammar (present simple, present continuous tenses and adjectives). They also practise their reading and listening skills. 

WHAT HAPPENS IF NONE OF THE PUPILS KNOWS THE CORRECT ANSWER?
The teacher gives the correct answer, but all the players in this group must pay the full price of the field. 

WHAT IS THE TEACHER'S ROLE IN THE GAME?
The teacher makes sure everybody speaks only English (by then, pupils know all the needed vocabulary to play a board game). If the pupils do not speak English, they must give $20 to each player in the group. The teacher is also the "judge" and helps pupils in case they are not sure about the corectness of their answer. 
 

TEACHER'S PREPARATION:
The teacher must re-write the numbers and letters from the front to the back of the cards. 

 a monopoly board

 a set of blue, yellow, green and red cards

 paper money

 a dice

 a different token for each player

•  Students are in groups of 4 - 5.
•  Each player gets $1500. Each player gets:

•  The group decides for a player to be in charge of the bank.
•  Players throw the dice; the one who throws the highest number starts the game.
•  When players land on a field that has not been bought before, they must try to buy it.
•  When players land on a field that has already been bought, they must answer the question given by the owner. If they give the correct answer, they pay the owner half of the price the owner paid for the field. But if they do not answer the question correctly, they must pay the owner the full price of the field.
•  If players land on "JAIL" they miss a turn.
•  If players land on "ADVANCE TO GO" they move their token to "GO", but do not collect $100.
•  Every time players pass "GO" (except as stated above), they collect $100 from the bank.

WHAT HAPPENS IF A PLAYER LANDS ON A FIELD OWNED BY ANOTHER PLAYER?
In this case the owner asks him a question written on a card he got when he bought the field. If the player gives the correct answer, he pays the owner half of the price of the field, because the owner allowes him to rest on his field. But if the player's answer is wrong, or if he doesn't give the answer at all, he must pay the owner the full price of the field.
