Philip wrote in to ask for a pdf version of this game. ย  I’d not played it for quite a long while but it was always a favourite! ๐Ÿ™‚

1 . Each player hides their sheet from the other player.

2. They cut out the 8 pictures on the top right.

3. Place any 4 pictures on the “Yes, I do!” section.

4. Place the other 4 on the “No, I don’t!” section.

5. The playersย rock, paper, scissorsย ( or try a coin toss) to see who goes first.

6. The winner says “Do you like” plus the name of one of the items.

If the item is on the other player’s “Yes, I do” section then it is safe.

However, if the word is on the other player’s “No I don’t” section then the 2 playersย rock, paper, scissorsย again.

If the person who asked the question wins, and they can say the name of the card plus “please”, they can steal the picture and place it in their hippo’s tummy!

But if they lose atย rock, paper, scissorsย , it is safe!

7. The other player now has a go at asking.

If you have taken everything from your opponent’s “don’t like” section then you have won!

    What a great idea for a game. I’ve taught that lesson so many times and yet I’ve never given this activity a try. I’ll have to give it a shot in next week’s lessons fr review.

    Thanks Richard!

    I’ve never tried this activity either. Another one to keep in mind!
