Level - intermediate and above

Many students rely on the teacher to tell them about grammar, but with some guidance and motivation they can deduce the meaning of grammatical items from the context in which they are used. This lesson is an attempt to combine some seasonal fun with developing students confidence to work together to understand grammar.
