Final Thoughts
Yes or no questions act as a simple, short, and fun getting to know you activity that can help groups bond and feel more comfortable about each other. Sometimes these prompts can uncover surprising results, and often these activities spark lively conversation that continues even after the game ends.
Since there are only two possible answers, these prompts tend to be low pressure. Also, since answering does not take much time, you can whip out these questions during lulls in conversations, breaks during meetings, or during leftover time at events. These prompts are a great way to banish boredom and awkward silences and get groups chatting.
Next, check out this list of Would You Rather ideas, this one with questions for “most likely to” games, these what if questions for work, and these questions for team building.
FAQ: Yes or no questions
Here are answers to common inquiries about yes or no questions.
What are some good yes or no questions for work meetings?
Good yes or no questions for work meetings include:
- Do you have any hobbies?
- Do you have a hidden talent?
- Have you ever lived in another country?
- Do you like to work while listening to music?
- Have you ever worked in a different industry?
You can also think up your own prompts to fill the space and break the ice during meetings.
What makes a good yes or no question?
Good yes or no questions are statements that can be answered with one of the two options, yet beg for further explanation. The fact that players cannot say anything more than yes or no without further prompting from other participants makes the game more fun. These type of questions can spark discussion after the game ends and help players grow to understand each other on a deeper level.
How can you use yes or no questions?
Yes or no questions can function as icebreaker activities and help group members get to know each other more quickly. You can play these games during meetings, parties, car trips, or during hangouts with friends or relatives.

More doesn’t always mean better. Smarter is better.
One sentence may be as useful for teaching purposes as a wall of text with lots of words.
My today’s post is a collection of one-sentence games (see Word Games if you’d like to try some games with words). These are games that require next to no time to prepare and might be used to help students retain new vocabulary and grammar, improve their speaking and writing, while playing around with the language.
Similar to the Telescopic Text experiment, the aim of the game is to expand a phrase or a simple sentence into as long a sentence as possible by adding extra words. You can play the game with the whole group or split students into small teams. Write a single word or a phrase on the board. Then invite students to add one or two extra words to make it into a longer sentence. Each word brings one point. The winner is the one who has scored more points.
Go
Go to the shop
Go to the shop to buy a mug
Go to the shop to buy a coffee mug
Go to the shop to buy a ceramic coffee mug
I need to go to the shop to buy a lovely ceramic coffee mug
I need to go to the shop to buy a lovely ceramic coffee mug for my mom
Today, I need to go to the shop to buy a lovely ceramic coffee mug for my mom…………………………………………………………………………………
You can use this game to make any gap-fill exercise more learning rich. Get students to suggest more words or phrases that could be added to the item (before/after).
E.g. They ______ (to plan) a trip.
They planned a trip to England.
They planned a 2-day trip to England.
They planned a 2-day trip to England so they could see ………………….
The idea is beautifully explained in the Opposites Game by Brendan Constantine.
As a writing exercise, Brendan Constantine gives students a line of famous poetry and asks them to write, word for word, the exact opposite.
This activity works really well as a pre-reading exercise, serving as a springboard for further discussion.
Students recite alphabet silently, the Curious Cat says ‘STOP’ and points randomly at a player. The player tells which letter he/she stopped at. Or use the Random Letter Generator.
The Curious Cat asks students different questions – Who? Why? Where? When?, etc. – to which the players should give short answers starting with the letter they picked (this can be a phrase or a single word). For example, the letter ‘C’:
‘Who?’ – Captain Cook. – ‘Where?’ – Congo. ‘With whom?’ – Caitleen. ‘Where from?’ Cairo. ‘When?’ – Christmas night.
Every time a player cannot give an answer, the Cat gets one point. The game stops after the Cat gets three points.
You can also use it to practise answering and asking questions (grammar focus). Get the Cat to ask full questions:
Who?’ – Captain Cook. – ‘Where did Captain Cook go?’ – He went to Congo. ‘With whom did he go to Congo?’ – With Caitleen/He went there with Caitleen. ‘Where was Caitleen from?’ – She was from Cairo. ‘When did Captain Cook and Caitleen go to Congo?’ – They went to Congo on Christmas night.
Ask your students to make up one sentence answering the questions, “Who, does what, to whom, when, where, how, and why?” in one long sentence.
E.g. Captain Cook and Caitleen were sure nothing Congo wrong on Christmas night.
Either use your list of words, or
hand out a sheet of paper to each student. Ask them to write down
a noun
Rotate the sheets.
a verb
Rotate the sheets.
an adjective
Rotate the sheets.
a noun
Rotate the sheets.
any word at their choice
Rotate the sheets.
Once each student has got their words, tell them that they must write a single sentence that uses all the five words.
This game can be played by 2-3 players. Write a simple sentence. Then players should add one word to the sentence to make a new sentence.
The player who adds the last word wins.
Hangman with a sentence sounds like an ideal combination.
Pick any sentence. I often use opening lines from different books (often, the ones I’d like my students to open and read, or the ones that are relevant to the topic of class discussion). The rules are the same as in Basic Hangman: draw a blank line for each word in the sentence, and ask your students to guess it by suggesting words. If the sentence is long, you may give a few words to simplify the task a bit.
So, this is the opening line from Peter Pan. Have you read the book?
Draw one element of a hangman’s gallows when the students guess wrong. If you find Hangman insensitive, it might be easily transformed into a score-based game. Give a point to the team for each word guessed.
* * *
Here’s an interesting idea from Tefldust:
Present the first letters of each word of the sentence and ask students to come up with a grammatically correct sentence.

Do you have a good one-sentence game to add to this collection?
Wh Questions ESL Games, Activities and Worksheets
- Elementary (A1-A2)
- Pre-intermediate (A2)
- Intermediate (B1)
- Upper-intermediate (B2)
First to Ask
ESL Wh Questions Game — Grammar and Speaking: Matching, Forming Questions from Prompts — Group Work — Elementary (A1-A2) — 25 minutes
In this free Wh questions game, students race to use question words to make questions that elicit specific answers. In groups, students take it in turns to pick up an answer card and read the sentence on the card aloud, putting emphasis on the words in bold. The student then places the card face-up on the table. Next, all the students check their cards to see if they have a question word that can be used to create a question that elicits the answer. The first student to create a suitable question, say it, and place their card down on top of the answer card wins. The two cards are then removed from the game. If the other players think that a question is incorrect or doesn’t match the answer, the student takes the card back and the game continues. The first student to get rid of all their question word cards wins the game.
Question Correction
ESL Wh Questions Activity — Grammar and Speaking: Error Correction, Asking and Answering Questions from Prompts, Controlled and Freer Practice — Pair Work — Elementary (A1-A2) — 30 minutes
In this Wh questions error correction activity, students correct mistakes in questions. Students then use the questions to interview a partner. Working alone, students find mistakes in seven questions on their worksheet and correct them. Students then take it in turns to check their corrections with their partner who has the answer key. Next, students interview their partner using the questions on their worksheet. Afterwards, students tell the class what they found out about their partner.
Tell me more
ESL Wh Questions Game — Grammar and Speaking: Asking Questions from Prompts — Group Work — Elementary (A1-A2) — 20 minutes
In this Wh questions speaking activity, students play a game where they ask Wh questions in order to find out more details about a sentence. Write a sentence on the board, e.g. ‘The report is on the desk’. Tell the students that they are feeling inquisitive and want to find out as many details as possible about the sentence. Teams then take it in turns to ask a Wh question about the sentence, e.g. ‘What is the report about?’ For each grammatically correct question a team asks, they score one point. When teams run out of questions, write a new sentence on the board and continue the game. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
What type of question is that?
ESL Wh Questions Worksheet — Grammar Exercises: Categorising, Matching, Unscrambling, Writing Questions, Error Correction — Speaking Activity — Pair Work — Elementary (A1-A2) — 25 minutes
In this Wh questions worksheet, students practice Wh questions in the present simple and present continuous. To start, students review two types of Wh questions. Students then read questions and decide which are type they are. Next, students match the questions with answers. Students then match the question words from Exercise A to their functions. After that, students unscramble words to create Wh questions. Students then move on to write Wh questions that match answers. Next, students rewrite questions, correcting errors. Working alone, students then complete sentences by guessing information about a partner. Then, students write the Wh questions they need to ask to find out the correct answer. Lastly, students ask the questions to their partner to see how many of their guesses were correct.
