students in the class. You will also need three identical coins

for every three to four students.

TIME

minutes

PROCEDURE

TeU the students that you can't decide whether to give

them homework or not, so you're going to toss a coin:

help them to make decisions and which involves tossing

coins.

Ask the students to work in groups of three or four. Give

one copy of the worksheet and three identical coins to

eachgroup.

Give the students a few minutes to read 'How to play' on

the worksheet. They should not start the game yet.

Demonstrate the game to the class, throwing the coins five

times and drawing the pattern lines on the board. When

you have drawn

aU five lines, ask the class to

find

the

corresponding pattern number and its meaning.

Now the students are ready to start playing the game in

their groups.

It is important to tell them that this is a

lighthearted game, and that they can keep their decision a

secret,

they wish.

While the students are playing the game, answer any

this means they dream about events which

happen later in real life. But events in a dream don't usually come true.

group to write down.

on the overhead projector) so that the students can

correct their own work.
