Agreements with Auxiliary Verbs – Noughts and Crosses
This game is adapted from the traditional game of noughts and crosses, which looks something like this:

The grammar version of the game is played in 2 teams.

TeamX looks at the statements in the grid below, chooses a square, and responds to the statement in the square using an auxiliary verb (following the structures in Grammar Challenge – Agreements with Auxiliary Verbs. If team A's response is correct and appropriate, TeamX 'wins' the square, and writes a large X in it. Then it is team O's turn.

The first team to make a line of three noughts or crosses wins the game.

For example:
This game is called ‘noughts and crosses’.      You’re right, it is.


The weather’s nice today.               Maria didn’t do the homework.             You’re very good at grammar.
British food isn’t very good.            David wasn’t living in                             London last year.
MickeyMouse isn’t a real mouse.    I don’t think it’ll rain tomorrow.             The cat jumped off the fence.
The Beatles were from Liverpool.
