This is great for practicing past participles and the present progressive tense.

Arrange group into a large circle with one person in the middle. The leader will prompt with the phrase Have you ever ? The person in the middle will finish the phrase. Example: Have you ever had candy bars for breakfast? Each of the people in the circle that has done what the person in the middle has said (had candy bars for breakfast) will quickly exchange places with someone else that has also done it. Whoever is left in the middle will finish the phrase the next
time. The game has no real end so you can play 2 or 20 times, it s up to you!

Another great way to use “Have you ever..?” is to have each student do a survey and then report back.

Give them slips of paper and they finish a question – “Have you ever..?” If they are lower level, give them an option. ex. been to … / touched … / kissed … eaten….. seen …..

then they go around the class marking students answers/ names under YES/NO. then they report back to their groups.

My question was, “Have you ever…?” ……said she has (never) …….
etc…

Great way to practice this. Get some students to report back to the whole group.

I like the circle game.

I first learned about it at a Korean church ice-breaker.
The person in the middle would ask, “Do you love your neighbor?” If they answer yes, then their neighbors change places. If they answer no, then the person in the middle asks, “Then, who do you like?” And people in that category have to move.

I think the circle game works with most groups less than 20.

The problem with “Have you ever” circle game is that some students will not move even they they have done that thing.

I tried a similar activities giving the student prompt cards.
I used the mess English BIg town cards. Then they started moving.
