The Have You Ever game is a great way to get your class going because it can really get your students moving. And getting their students moving is never a bad thing.

PROCEDURE

 Teacher organizes the group in a large circle with one person in the middle.

 The leader will ask you for the phrase Have you ever?

 The person in the middle will finish the sentence.

 Student ask: Have you ever eaten sour lollipops? Each of the students in the circle who has done what the student in the middle said (eat sour lollipops) will quickly switch places with someone else who has done it too.

 Whoever stays in the middle will finish the sentence the next time.

 The game does not have a real ending, so you can play 2 or 20 times.
