In this free past modals of obligation and prohibition activity, students ask and answer questions about what they were and weren’t allowed to do and had to do when they were a child. The first student to reach the finish wins the game. Instead, they should use different answers or reform the sentence. If students land on the same square, they are not allowed to repeat a previous sentence made by another student. If the sentence is grammatically incorrect or doesn't make sense, the student must go back to their previous square. If the sentence is correct, the student stays on the square. The other group members listen to the student's sentence and judge whether it's correct or not. For example, if the square read 'Three things you mustn't do in class', the student might say 'You mustn't eat snacks, talk loudly or use your mobile phone in class'. When a student lands on a square, they make a sentence with the underlined language from the prompt, expressing past or present obligation, lack of obligation or prohibition. Students take it in turns to roll the dice and move their counter along the board.
